Lung Field Segmentation in Chest X-rays: A Deformation-Tolerant Procedure Based on the Approximation of Rib Cage Seed Points

The delineation of bone structures is a crucial step in Chest X-ray image analysis. In the case of lung field segmentation, the main approach after the localization of bone structures is either their individual analysis or their suppression. We prove that a very fast and approximate identification o...
