Image segmentation by graph cut for radiation images of small animal blood vessels

This study focused on finding a suitable algorithm for image segmentation in high‐resolution medical imaging. In this study, we used follow ing four algorithms to segment blood vessel of mouse; interactive graph cuts algorithm, which segments an image using fast min‐cut/max‐flow algorithm to solve global solution, binary partition tree algorithm, which uses an interactive method creating tree nodes to segment an image by using split ting and merging an image, seeded region growing algorithm, which performs segmentation by connecting similar pixel value, simple interactive object extraction, which generates color signature for segmentation based on color model of an image.
