Centerline extraction with principal curve tracing to improve 3D level set esophagus segmentation in CT images

For radiotherapy planning, contouring of target volume and healthy structures at risk in CT volumes is essential. To automate this process, one of the available segmentation techniques can be used for many thoracic organs except the esophagus, which is very hard to segment due to low contrast. In th...
