Abstract | An automatic segmentation method for extraction of human rib structures from chest CT volume data is presented. Segmentation is initiated from the middle coronal slice to attain complete and isolated 12 pairs of ribs with a recursive tracking on coronal slices spreading from the middle coronal slice. At each coronal slice, the lung contours are extracted, candidate rib regions are derived from thresholding, and refined by adding constraints on shape and location with respect to the lung contour and centroids of rib regions of the former coronal slice. Anatomical and radiological prior knowledge has been explored to ignore those rib regions connected to spine for breaking the connection with spine. Appropriate thresholds are chosen so that lung regions can be binarized, the cartilage connecting ribs and sternum are binarized as background to break the connection between the sternum and ribs. Our method is tested on 15 CT data sets. Experiments show that radiologists are satisfied with the extracted rib regions on coronal slices, and only those rib regions connected to spine are discarded (5.5% of all 2D rib regions). The method provides a foundation for further investigation on computer-aided diagnosis of rib fractures. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
