Level set segmentation of bovine corpora lutea in ex situ ovarian ultrasound images

Abstract

The hypothesis that level set segmentation can be accurate to within 1-2 mm on average was supported, although there can be some greater deviation. The method was robust to boundary leakage as evidenced by the high specificity. It was concluded that the technique is promising and that a suitable data set of human ovarian images should be obtained to conduct further studies.
