An enhanced random walk algorithm for delineation of head and neck cancers in PET studies

Abstract An algorithm for delineating complex head and neck cancers in positron emission tomography (PET) images is presented in this article. An enhanced random walk (RW) algorithm with automatic seed detection is proposed and used to make the segmentation process feasible in the event of inhomogen...
