ABSTRACT

For the last contribution, we didn’t provide enough examples as work is still in process. But we will discuss this approach and relate it to other works (section 5).

2 DESCRIPTION AND FORMULATION OF THE PROBLEM

2.1 Description

Our objective is to segment a specific organ from a body part MRI images. MRI in a clinical context produces a stack of 2D images called slices of the given 3D volumetric part of the body. These slices can be seen as a discretization of the body part along. The distance between two consecutive slices is called inter-gap distance which is usually less than 3 mm. Figure 1 shows some MRI slices.
