  • Abstract
    We develop an adaptive active contour tracing algorithm for extraction of spinal cord from MRI that is fully automatic, unlike existing approaches that need manually chosen seeds. We can accurately extract the target spinal cord and construct the volume of interest to provide visual guidance for strategic rehabilitation surgery planning.
