NAME

vvtbdsf − performs closed surface segmentation of vertebral body

SYNOPSIS

vvtbdsf if= bf= mf= x= y= z= [n=] th= of= [-t] [-v] [-d]

DESCRIPTION

vvtbdsf performs the closed surface segmentation of the vertebral body by applying progressive surface resolution algorithm that was described in [SLYX16], given the intensity image (if=), the high confidence boundary image(bf=), and the estimated centroid location (x,y,z) of the target structure.
