    Author: Zhou X, Ninomiya H, Hara T, Fujita H, Yokoyama R, Chen H, Kiryu T, Hoshi H.
    Journal: IEEE Trans Biomed Eng; 2008 Jan; 55(1):351-3. PubMed ID: 18232381.
    Abstract:
    This communication describes a fully automated method by which the position of the diaphragm surface can be estimated by deforming a thin-plate model to match the bottom surface of the lung in CT images. This method was applied to 338 X-ray CT scans, and its validity was proved by the experimental results.
