Probabilistic models are extensively used in medical image segmentation. Most of them employ parametric representations of densities and make idealizing assumptions, e.g. normal di...
Automatic segmentation of the esophagus from CT data is a challenging problem. Its wall consists of muscle tissue, which has low contrast in CT. Sometimes it is filled with air or...
