Segmentation of Pulmonary Nodules in CT Using a Regression NN Approach

Authors: Temesguen Messay-Kebede, Russell C. Hardie, Timothy R Tuinstra Semi-automated segmentation scheme with 3 free parameters. Shown are: top left corner is search of the parameters using Simulated Annealing, bottom left corner the corresponding objective functions that are being maximized, top right corner are the resultant segmentation and the corresponding ellipsoid used for pruning that is adapted jointly and finally bottom right corner is net segmentation results (example 2)
