T-Surfaces Framework For Offset Generation And Semiautomatic 3d Segmentation

  • Chapter
Deformable Models

This chapter describes a new approach that integrates the T-Surfaces model and isosurface generation methods in a general framework for segmentation and surface reconstruction in 3D medical images. Besides, the T-Surfaces model is applied for offset generation in the context of geometry extraction.
