Abstract

The liver CT image segmentation is still until now a challenging problem due to the fuzzy nature of the tumor transition to the surrounding tissues. The objective of this article is the consideration of the uncertainty present around the boundaries of a tumor region in the segmentation of the liver CT images as well as the segmentation of multiple tumors in the same CT image.
