dc.description.abstract | Most of abdominal CT images include Gaussian noise, and CT scans form a blurry vision because of the internal fat tissue inside of abdomen. These two handicaps (noise and fat tissue) constitute an impediment in front of an accurate abdominal organ & tumour segmentation. Also segmentation techniques generally fall into error on segmentation of close grayscale regions. Therefore, denoising and enhancement parts are crucial for better segmentation results on CT images. In this paper, we form a tool including three efficient algorithms for the purpose of image enhancement before abdominal organ & tumour segmentation. At first, the denoising process is realized by Block Matching and 3D Filtering (BM3D) algorithm for elimination of Gaussian noise stated in arterial phase CT images. At second, Fast Linking Spiking Cortical Model (FL-SCM) is used for removing the internal fat tissue. At last, Otsu algorithm is processed to remove the redundant parts within the image. In experiments, Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Structural Similarity (SSIM) index are used to evaluate the performance of proposed method, and a visual comparison is presented. According to results, it is seen that proposed tool obtains the best PSNR and SSIM values in comparison with two steps of pipeline (FL-SCM and BM3D & FL-SCM). Consequently, BM3D & FL-SCM & Otsu (BFO) ensures a clean abdomen particularly for segmentation of liver, spleen, pancreas, adrenal tumours, aorta, ribs, spinal cord and kidneys. | en_US |
