Accurate segmentation of 2-D, 3-D, and 4-D medical images to isolate anatomical objects of interest for analysis is essential in almost any computer-aided diagnosis system or other medical imaging applications. Various aspects of segmentation features and algorithms have been extensively explored for many years in a host of publications. However, the problem remains challenging, with no general and unique solution, due to a large and constantly growing number of different objects of interest, large variations of their properties in images, different medical imaging modalities, and associated changes of signal homogeneity, variability, and noise for each object. This chapter overviews most popular medical image segmentation techniques and discusses their capabilities, and basic advantages and limitations. The state-of-the-art techniques of the last decade are also outlined.
