Spatial Evidential Clustering With Adaptive Distance Metric for Tumor Segmentation in FDG-PET Images

While the accurate delineation of tumor volumes in FDG-positron emission tomography (PET) is a vital task for diverse objectives in clinical oncology, noise and blur due to the imaging system make it a challenging work. In this paper, we propose to address the imprecision and noise inherent in PET u...
