Multiscale segmentation of the skull in MR images for MRI-based attenuation correction of combined MR/PET.

Background and Objective: Combined magnetic resonance/positron emission tomography (MR/PET) is a relatively new, hybrid imaging modality. MR-based attenuation correction often requires segmentation of the bone on MR images. In this study, we present an automatic segmentation method for the skull on...
