Objective

Our goal is to investigate various segmentation approaches for identifying parotid glands on head and neck CT images. The focus will be on atlas-based methods, which exploit the information from a number of previously labeled images. Several different strategies exist on how to employ this prior information to achieve the segmentation.


Plan

We will try to work out the differences in terms of parameterization and regularization of various atlas-based methods. We will further try to characterize properties of such methods for the segmentation of parotid glands, which show high structural variability. Finally, we would like to investigate, which combination of methods may be promising.
