Overview

In the medical field, medical imagery has become a discipline of its own, given the nature of its applications in the understanding of the human body and medical diagnostics. Image processing techniques are the core tools for solving these biomedical problems. The applications of level sets has made a significant impact on medical imagery primarily because of its ability to perform efficient topology preservation and fast shape recovery. This has dominated the binary, grayscale and colour frameworks, which the eye can perceive. It has not only the ability to find boundaries and surfaces that are deep seated in 2-D and 3-D volumes respectively, but also provide satisfactory solutions for the completion of cognitive objects with missing boundaries.
