摘要

Segmentation is one of the most important steps in automated medical diagnosis applications, which affects the accuracy of the overall system. In this paper, we propose a semi-automated segmentation method for extracting lung lesions from thoracic PET/CT images by combining low level processing and active contour techniques. The lesions are first segmented in PET images which are first converted to standardised uptake values (SUVs). The segmented PET images then serve as an initial contour for subsequent active contour segmentation of corresponding CT images. To evaluate its accuracy, the Jaccard Index (JI) was used as a measure of the accuracy of the segmented lesion compared to alternative segmentations from the QIN lung CT segmentation challenge, which is possible by registering the whole body PET/CT images to the corresponding thoracic CT images. The results show that our proposed technique has acceptable accuracy in lung lesion segmentation with JI values of around 0.8, especially when considering the variability of the alternative segmentations.
