SU-E-I-20: The Application of Traditional Snake Model and Balloon-Snake Model in Automatic Organ Contouring

Medical Physics
T Bai, Y Yin

Abstract

To compare the traditional Snake model and Balloon-Snake model on automatic organ contouring. For tumors in brain, chest and abdomen, two patients were enrolled for each part. Grey matter, lung and liver for each patient were contoured automatically by Snake model and Balloon-Snake model, and were also contoured manually by radiologist respectively. Characteristics and dynamic capabilities were compared between the two models. The traditional Snake model will bring good contouring Result only if the primary contour is close enough to the target edge. But, if the force field area is relatively small, the automatic contouring will not bring good Result on boundary deep concave. The Balloon-Snake model can overcome those shortcomings and improve the traditional Snake model. However, the primary model of Balloon-Snake can not cross border, doesn't work well on boundary cracks reconstruction, has small force field. The Balloon-Snake model improved the traditional Snake model and has better dynamic capabilities. It has also more practical value on automatic organ contouring.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
