Adaptive Segmentation of Vertebral Bodies from Sagittal MR Images Based on Local Spatial Information and Gaussian Weighted Chi-Square Distance.

We present a novel method for the automatic segmentation of the vertebral bodies from 2D sagittal magnetic resonance (MR) images of the spine. First, a new affinity matrix is constructed by incorporating neighboring information, which local intensity is considered to depict the image and overcome th...
