In this recent study, researchers in Sweden conducted a study "To fully automate intra-abdominal (IAT) and total adipose tissue RAT) segmentation in mice to replace tedious and subjective manual segmentation. A novel transform codes each voxel with the radius of the narrowest: passage on the widest possible three-dimensional PD) path to any voxel in the target object to select appropriate IAT seed points."
"Then competitive region growing is performed on a distance transform of the fat mask such that competing classes meet at narrow passages effectively segmenting the IAT and subcutaneous adipose compartments. Fully automatic segmentations were conducted on 32 3D ...
