Abstract

In the field of medical image processing, the segmentation of liver in computed tomography images are of enormous significance. Dividing schemes into two categories that are semi-automatic and fully automatic schemes. Both classes have some techniques, approximation, related queries; some drawbacks will be described and clarified. To obtain a liver segmentation, there is an analysis on methods for segmentation of liver as well as techniques using computed tomography images are shown. Following the relative study for liver segmentation schemes various measurements, scoring for liver segmentation are given; advantages and disadvantages of techniques will be emphasized carefully. Several faults and difficulties of the suggested methods are still to be focused.
