A novel approach for lung nodules segmentation in chest CT using level sets

A new variational level set approach is proposed for lung nodule segmentation in lung CT scans. A general lung nodule shape model is proposed using implicit spaces as a signed distance function. The shape model is fused with the image intensity statistical information in a variational segmentation f...
