Automatic Left and Right Lung Separation Using Free-Formed Surface Fitting on Volumetric CT.

This study presents a completely automated method for separating the left and right lungs using free-formed surface fitting on volumetric computed tomography (CT). The left and right lungs are roughly divided using iterative 3-dimensional morphological operator and a Hessian matrix analysis. A point...
