Segmentation and Analysis

Medical image segmentation using deep learning, labeling app, or image processing algorithms, and radiomics analysis

Image segmentation is the process of partitioning an image into regions. Semantic segmentation associates each pixel or voxel in an image with a class label that describes the meaning of an image region, such as bone, tumor, or background. You can perform medical image semantic segmentation using deep learning, the interactive Medical Image Labeler app, or image processing algorithms. Deep learning workflows require Deep Learning Toolbox™ and Computer Vision Toolbox™. Analyze segmented images using radiomics, which calculates standardized image features related to shape, intensity, and texture.
