Optimizing the Level Set Algorithm for Detecting Object Edges in MR and CT Images
Abstract
Specifying the boundary of tissues or an organ is one of the most frequently required tasks for a radiologist. It is a first step for further processing, such as comparing two serial images in time, volume measurements. In the present work, we use genetic algorithms (GA) and where necessary apply a “dynamic genetic algorithm” (dGA) procedure, which (we believe) is a unique application, to assess different values for finding an optimal set of …
