Abstract

Medical images are difficult to observe due to blurred organ and tissue boundaries and uneven grayscale in the area, which interferes with the diagnosis of the disease. In this paper, a level set segmentation method combining information is proposed for the redundant effect caused by the segmentation of organ tissue in a complex environment. Simulation results show that, when the improved algorithm is used to segment medical images with blurred borders and uneven grayscale, although it requires a lot of calculation, it obviously sup- presses the redundancy effect and improves the accuracy and efficiency of the segmentation algorithm.
