Segmentation methods for micro ct images: a comparative study using human bone samples

Braz. dent. j; 29 (2), 2018
Abstract X-ray microtomography (microCT) is a nondestructive technique used to assess bone morphometry. For an accurate analysis, it is necessary to segment the bone tissue from the background images, avoiding under- or overestimation of the real bone volume. Thus, segmentation methods for microCT can in...
