LOGISMOS-JEI: Segmentation using optimal graph search and just-enough interaction

LOGISMOS (Layered Optimal Graph Image Segmentation for Multiple Objects and Surfaces) is a general approach for optimally segmenting multiple n-D surfaces that mutually interact within individual and/or between object. JEI (Just-Enough Interaction) extension enables the users to intuitively and efficiently guide LOGISMOS to achieve clinically acceptable segmentation that still maintains global optimality, embedded shape, and anatomy knowledge. This chapter is aimed at both the conceptual designers of quantitative medical image analysis methods and developers adopting LOGISMOS-JEI to perform new segmentation tasks. The basic principles and essential techniques of LOGISMOS-JEI are presented. Using three clinical segmentation problems, the process of designing LOGISMOS-JEI applications is described with a focus on choosing proper techniques at all stages of the analysis pipeline. The …
