Abstract:
The proposed automatic section method achieves accurate automatic section on colon outer surface centerline and evert the colon, by calculating the centerline windowed average curvature. The method is validated on CT colon datasets, and experimental results show that the sectioned virtual eversion facilitates colon visualization and analysis.
