A Fuzzy Locally Adaptive Bayesian Segmentation Approach for Volume Determination in PET

Abstract: Accurate volume estimation in positron emission tomography (PET) is crucial for different oncology applications. The objective of our study was to develop a new fuzzy locally adaptive Bayesian (FLAB) segmentation for automatic lesion volume delineation. FLAB was compared with a threshold approach as well as the previously proposed fuzzy hidden Markov chains (FHMC) and the fuzzy C-Means (FCM) algorithms. The performance of the algorithms was assessed on acquired datasets of the IEC phantom, covering a range of … Show more

“…There are early reports that textural analysis, an additional tool quantifying intratumoural heterogeneity of 18 FDG-PET tracer uptake, may improve prediction of response and prognosis and it is hypothesised that image heterogeneity may be related to underlying biology and reflect the behaviour of malignant tumours [3][4][5][6][7].…”

“…The measurement of tumour heterogeneity in 18 F-FDG PET images can be achieved by using statistical or model-based methods. Statistical-based textural analysis can be further categorised into first-, second-and higher-order statistical methods of increasing complexity, respectively [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15].…”

“…Positron emission tomography (PET) successfully images the lesion metabolic activity. Recently, PET images were modeled as a fuzzy Gaussian mixture to delineate tumor lesions accurately [1]. In this work, we propose a statistical lesion activity computation (SLAC) approach to robustly estimate TLA directly from the modeled Gaussian partial volume mixtures.…”

“…In this work, we propose a statistical lesion activity computation (SLAC) approach to robustly estimate TLA directly from the modeled Gaussian partial volume mixtures. TLA was estimated from 3 state-ofthe-art PET delineation schemes, namely a stochastic (FLAB [1]), a gradient based (GDM [2]) and an adaptive threshold based (ATM [3]) method, for comparison. A threshold based region growing method (T40 -40% threshold) was also evaluated.…”

“…For a given data set composed of a set of items, a statistical classification framework attempts to label each item to with some level of certainty, like in [267]. For examples, More complex segmentation methodologies have been proposed to solve the lung tumor delineation problem [268,[271][272][273][274][275][276][277][278][279]. For example, Li et al [278] used an adaptive region growing method that extracts the tumor boundaries using deformable models in PET.…”
