A shape guided C-V model to segment the levator ani muscle in axial magnetic resonance images

This paper proposes a modified Chan-Vese model to segment levator ani muscles from axial magnetic resonance (MR) images. Intensity variances of the foreground and the background are used as the main segmentation clues. As in most cases the boundary of the rectum can be successfully segmented in axia...
