Bone Enhancement Filtering: Application to Sinus Bone Segmentation and Simulation of Pituitary Surgery
We present a novel multi-scale bone enhancement measure that can be used to drive a geometric flow to segment bone structures. This measure has the essential properties to be incorporated in the computation of anatomical models for the simulation of pituitary surgery, enabling it to better account for the presence of sinus bones. We present synthetic examples that validate our approach and show a comparison between existing segmentation techniques of paranasal sinus CT data.
