Unsupervised 3D Prostate Segmentation Based on Diffusion-Weighted Imaging MRI Using Active Contour Models with a Shape Prior

Accurate estimation of the prostate location and volume from in vivo images plays a crucial role in various clinical applications. Recently, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is proposed as a promising modality to detect and monitor prostate-related diseases. In this paper, we propose an unsupervised...
