Abstract
In this paper, we propose a method to segment the menisci region from Tl-weighted and T2-weighted MR images. These images are taken continuously by the same system, so we can easily registrate them by manual. Our method is composed of two steps. First, we segment the candidate region of the menisci on the basis of the position of the cartilage from T2 weighted image. Second, we segment the meniscus voxels from the candidate based on fuzzy rules from Tl-weighted and T2-weighted images. Our method can successfully segment the menisci region from MR data sets. The generated visualizations will help medical doctor to diagnose the menisci with noninvasive.
