Figure 3.
Example of applying the bone separation scheme on MRI data. (left) Mask generated by thresholding (red contours) consists of a mixture of air and bone in the pelvis (a) as well as a mixture of bone, vaginal marker and soft tissue in the thighs (b). (middle) Pelvic bone mask generated by the pelvic bone shape model (green) separates bone from air in the pelvis (c) but fails to cover femoral bones in the thighs (d). (right) Applying the femur model separates vaginal markers (red contours in (e)), femoral bones (red contours in (f)) and soft tissue (magenta contours in (f)).
