A New Approach to Automatic Segmentation of Bone in Medical Magnetic Resonance Imaging

This paper presents the modelling and segmentation with correction of inhomogeneity in magnetic resonance imaging of shoulder. For that purpose a new heuristic is proposed using a morphological method and a pyramidal Gaussian decomposition (Discrete Gabor Transform). After the application of these filters, an automatic segmentation of a bone is possible despite of other semiautomatic methods present in the literature.
