Abstract

The main aim of this research is to present a verification of selected segmentation methods in relation to the structures of the knee joint. The paper shows the known medical image segmentation methods, which have been used for extraction of hard (femur, patella, tibia) and soft (anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments) structures of the knee joint. These methods have been implemented in MATLAB and tested on clinical MRI slices of the knee joint in sagittal plane.
