N2 - Automated segmentation of the spleen in CT volumes is difficult due to variations in size, shape, and position of the spleen within the abdominal cavity as well as similarity of intensity values among organs in the abdominal cavity. In this paper we present a method for automated localization and segmentation of the spleen within axial abdominal CT volumes using trained classification models, active contours, anatomical information, and adaptive features. The results show an average Dice score of 0.873 on patients experiencing various chest, abdominal, and pelvic traumas taken at different contrast phases.
