Both techniques were evaluated using images of an anthropomorphic malepelvis phantom.
2
The aim of this studying is to develop a novel method for automatic, multiorgan segmentation of the malepelvis.
3
Conclusions: The authors have developed an efficient and reliable method for automatic segmentation of multiple organs in the malepelvis.
4
The visceral organs of the malepelvis have complex anatomic relationships with the surrounding extraperitoneal spaces, supplying arteries and adjacent pelvic musculature.
5
A similar model is developed for the malepelvis which takes into account pelvic anatomical information and handles the more complicated deformation space.
6
Purpose: To evaluate the feasibility of patient specific deformation models (PSDM) in the malepelvis for IGRT by limited angular imaging.
7
This pelvis is, compared with the malepelvis, broad and shallow, to provide for the passage of the fully developed child at birth.
