Hello,
I'm new to matlab and my task is to segment the trachea (wind pipe) and the clavicle bones (Collarbones) in different CT volumes. I could finish the segmentation of trachea with success. In the second part, I could extract the entire set of bone within the volume and I have stuck at there. I couldn't extract both collarbones from the rest of bones. As I'm supposed to measue the lenght of at lease one of these bones, could you please enlight me on how to segment these two bones?
The bone extaction code I wote so far is,
load 3D_Configs.mat;
folder = ('./Set_No_2');
d = dir(folder + "/*.dcm");
slice_location = [];
for k = 1:length(d)
info = dicominfo(folder + "/" + d(k).name);
slice_location(k) = info.SliceLocation;
end
[V,sp] = dicomreadVolume(folder);
V = squeeze(V);
slice_location = sort(slice_location);
scale_factors = [sp.PixelSpacings(1,:) slice_location(2)-slice_location(1)];
vs = volshow(V,config,'ScaleFactors',scale_factors);
(I tried creating various volume masks with the help of Image Segmenter and tried to segment the collarbones. But all failed.)
(The "3D_Configs.mat" file is a config extract saved from the volumeViewer with cam angle. Attached here.).
The "Set_No_2" is the DICOM image folder. Code developed to segment the trachea in 2D slices of DICOM images is also attached here.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Alba
