Paper Abstract
Segmenting the lymph node regions in head and neck CT images has been a challenging topic in the area of medical image
segmentation. The method proposed herein implements an atlas-based technique constrained by an active shape model
(ASM) to segment the level II, III and IV lymph nodes as one structure. A leave-one-out evaluation study performed on 15
data sets shows that the results obtained with this technique are better than those obtained with a pure atlas-based
segmentation method, in particular in regions of poor contrast.
