The measurement of the volume of stereotaxtic MRI hippocampal formation applying the Region growth algorithm based on seeds

The paper mainly probes into the accuracy of applying the Region growth algorithm to MRI images segmentation. Firstly the researchers scan the adult volunteers to get stereotaxtic MRI images, then discern and segment them in two separate ways: Region growth algorithm and manual segmentation, and compare the differences in results. The outcome shows no obvious difference exists, so the Region growth algorithm can be used into the segmentation of some complex formations such as hippocampus.
