Liver Segmentation Technique for CT Images Based on Statistical Analysis

This article presented the automatic diagnosis of liver pathologies and its 3D volume rendering. The first and fundamental step in all these studies is the automatic liver segmentation, which is still an open problem. In this thesis, two automatic methods are described to segment the liver from abdominal CT image data. The first step is image enhancement. Secondly, texture analysis is using standard statistical measures, finally it is a rough mask to segment the liver.
