CT: spine segmentation ANALOGY T. Klinder et al. / Automated model-based vertebra detection, identification, and segmentation in CT images Medical Image Analysis 13 (2009) 471–482 Fig. 2. Block diagram of framework. Based on the spine curve extraction, a CPR is applied and the vertebrae are detected in the reformatted image. Found candidates are transformed back to the original image – visualized as yellow spheres located between each vertebra. Afterwards, candidates are identified - visualized as prepositioned models; colour coding illustrates labels of vertebra meshes. Finally, meshes are adapted to the respective image structures.
