Abstract

Segmentation of Pancreas with high accuracy in computerized tomography (CT) results is considered to be a basic issue in both medical image processing and computer-aided diagnosis (CAD). Pancreas segmentation is considered as a difficult task due to its uncertainity in location and in analysis of organs, while it takes very minute division of the entire abdominal CT scans. Because of the accelerated development of the CAD system and therefore the serious need for antiseptic treatments, pancreas segmentation with high accuracy of results is demanded. A new approach is used in this paper, for automated pancreas segmentation of CT images using inter-/intra-slice circumstancial instruction with preprocessing, segmentation, feature extraction, classification.
