In this paper, we describe a hierarchal standardization method of abdominal cavity for multiple organ segmentation in three dimensional abdominal CT image to suppress the variance in shape and position of organs between cases and increase the segmentation accuracy. The proposed method carries out the standardization followed by segmentation of organs twice. The first standardization process focuses on the organs, i.e. heart, liver, spleen and right and left kidney, whose segmentation performance is high. The latter process concentrates on the organs, i.e. oesophagus, stomach, pancreas, gallbladder, portal vein, inferior vena cava, and abdominal aorta that are not easy to segment. This paper shows the results of applying the proposed method to actual 3D abdominal CT images of 17 patients and evaluation of the performance followed by the discussion about the effectiveness. |
