Details of the computed morphological parameters.
Attribute | Explication |
---|---|
) | Number of pixels in the studied region. |
) | This parameter compares the ROI shape and a cercle. It is computed as follows: |
Eccentricity of the ellipse with the same second moments as the region. | |
Represented by the angle between the x-axis and the maximum diameter of the best ellipse having the same second-moments as the region. | |
Distance around the region’s boundary. | |
This factor is used to describe the shape and can be represented by this formula: -Roundness is close to 1 with circular shape -Roundness is close to in the case of elliptical shape -Otherwise: irregular shape Such as represent respectively half of the minor axis and the major axis |
|
Elliptical Normalized Circumference: We compare the bladder mask’s shape with ellipse closest to its shape. |
|
Ratio between the major and the minor axis lengths | This Ratio between the maximum width and the maximum length characterizes the external bladder shape. |
