Abstract
Accurate automatic segmentation of anatomical structures is usually
considered a difficult problem to solve because of anatomical
variability and varying imaging conditions. A prior description of
the shape of the anatomical structure to be segmented can reduce the
ambiguity associated with the segmentation task. However this prior
information has to be prepared specifically for the structure of
interest, usually supervised and under favorable imaging conditions.
An alternative is to consider the shape of the object sequentially,
along a particular dimension of the data. This is the approach taken
here, ie on-line modeling of sequential shape information which is
combined with sequential segmentation of the intensity distributions
for the segmented structure and the surrounding region.
