Identifying multiple abdominal organs from CT image series using a multimodule contextual neural network and spatial fuzzy rules.

Identifying multiple abdominal organs from CT image series using a multimodule contextual neural network and spatial fuzzy rules.

Identifying abdominal organs is one of the essential steps in visualizing organ structure to assist in teaching, clinical training, diagnosis, and medical image retrieval. However, due to partial volume effects, gray-level similarities of adjacent organs, contrast media affect, and the relatively hi...
