Abstract
This paper describes a segmentation method primarily developed for rec onstructing resistive head models for electroencephalographic modellin g purposes. The method was implemented by combining several image proc essing techniques, such as amplitude segmentation, region growing, and image fusion. Also a graphical user interface was developed to enable semiautomatic approach to the segmentation process. This method was d eveloped especially for segmentation of the brain and skull from T1-we ighted magnetic resonance images, but can also be applied in any segme ntation procedure. The entire project was implemented successfully in a PC-based computer running the Unix/NeXTstep(TM) operating system. (C ) 1997 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd.
