Abstract

Using image processing to assist in the diagnostic of diseases is a growing challenge. Segmentation is one of the relevant stages in image processing. We present a strategy of complete segmentation of the proximal femur (right and left) in anterior-posterior pelvic radiographs using statistical models of shape and appearance for assistance in the diagnostics of diseases associated with femurs. Quantitative results are provided using the DICE coefficient and the processing time, on a set of clinical data that indicate the validity of our proposal.
