SEMIAUTOMATIC TOOL FOR SEGMENTATION AND VOLUMETRIC-ANALYSIS OF MEDICAL IMAGES

Segmentation software is described, developed for medical image proces sing and run on Windows. The software applies basic image processing t echniques through a graphical user interface. For particular applicati ons, such as brain lesion segmentation, the software enables the combi nation of different segmentation techniques to improve its efficiency. The program is applied for magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomog raphy and optical images of cryosections. The software can be utilised in numerous applications, including pre-processing for three-dimensio nal presentations, volumetric analysis and construction of volume cond uctor models.
