Region-based snake with edge constraint for segmentation of lymph nodes on CT images
Edge- and region-based snakes were complementary for lymph nodes segmentation. We proposed a segmentation method which integrates both edge and region information. The method does not suffer from the trade-off between edge and region terms. This is a clinical application-based implementation of the B-spline snake. It allows automatic delineation of targeted lymph nodes in CT images.
