NAME
vvtbd − performs vertebral body segmentation.
SYNOPSISvvtbd if= vf= dz= cf= rf= vy= vz= of= bf= ff= [-v] [-d]
DESCRIPTIONvvtbd performs vertebral body segmentation by separating the vertebral body from the posterior processes, given the segmented individual vertebra, based on the analysis of the image intensity profile.
OPTIONS|
if= |
input filtered CT image (short) | ||
|
vf= |
input mask for the target vertebra v | ||
|
dz=z1,z2 |
input z coordinates of superior and inferior dividing planes for the target vertebra v | ||
|
cf= |
input spinal canal centerline | ||
|
rf= |
input z coordinate of carina | ||
|
vy= |
input vector of y component of the normal direction of SCC | ||
|
vz= |
input vector of z component of the normal direction of SCC | ||
|
of= |
output dividing planes (125,250) and vertebra (250,255) for visualization. There are 4 types of dividing planes (superior, inferior, anterior and posterior). The pixel value for dividing plane only is 125, for vertebra only is 255, for both dividing plane and vertebra is 250. | ||
|
bf= |
output vertebral body mask | ||
|
ff= |
output filtered CT for the vertebral body (short) | ||
|
-v |
verbose mode | ||
