Iterative threshold segmentation for PET target volume delineation

The purpose of this work is to create a rigorous method of segmenting PET images using an automated iterative technique. To this end a phantom study employing spherical targets was used to determine local (slice specific) threshold levels which produce correct cross-sections based on the contrast be...
