Transversal Section of the C5 Vertebra
Author: Paula Fernandes
Date: April 2008
Description: Transversal section of the C5 vertebra. A – Original CT image; B – Segmented CT image by global thresholding. The computed tomography image of the C5 vertebra (transversal section) possesses, both, a high spatial resolution and soft-hard tissue contrast, revealing several relevant anatomical information. Such image characterisitics are critical to extract, in a accurate manner, the geometric locus of the anatomical structure with advanced image processing techniques
