However, segmentation of liver is a challenging task due to it’s inter and intra intensity and texture similarities among other organs present in CT abdominal images. A semiautomatic method has been proposed to segment the liver portion from CT abdominal images and their three dimensional volume construction by (i)Noise removal using median filter,(ii)Segmentation of liver portion based on active contour method using sparse field method and(iii)liver volume construction using marching cube method. Evaluation of proposed method is carried out on clinically acquired CT images and effectiveness of algorithm is evaluated by comparing manually segmented liver portion marked by radiologist with proposed method}, number={5}, journal={British Journal of Healthcare and Medical Research}, author={Thakur, Ritambhara and Mittal, Deepti}, year={2015}, month={Oct.}, pages={46} }
