Bone removal: Removing undesirable objects from a digital medical image
A pure and real 3 dimensional imaging in medical images is still a challenge. Therefore most of the software still uses 2 images, which are transformed to 3D images. In addition a problem is that the images show similar grey values, which are hard to differentiate. This is a problem for physicians, who need to be able to differentiate the grey values to different organs and to remove undesired tissue types from the digital images (i.e. “bone removal”).
