Abstract

Medical image processing plays an increasingly important role in clinical diagnosis and treatment. Using the results of kidney CT image segmentation for three-dimensional reconstruction is an intuitive and accurate method for diagnosis. In this paper, we propose a three-step automatic segmentation method for kidney, tumors and cysts, including roughly segmenting the kidney and tumor from low-resolution CT, locating each kidney and fine segmenting the kidney, and finally extracting the tumor and cyst from the segmented kidney. The results show that the average dice of our method for kidney, tumor and cysts is about 0.93, 0.57, 0.73.
