Question

Which statement is false about boundary-based and atlas-based segmentation methods?

a. One example of a boundary-based approach is the level-set model, which imbeds an N-dimensional segmentation problem into N+1 dimensions, and as a result endows the contour or surface model with topological adaptivity, the ability of the contour or surface to fuse together or break apart according to underlying tissue structure.

b. The level-set model is implemented with a partial differential equation in time and space, whereby derivatives in time and space are evaluated with finite differences.

c. Another example of a boundary-based approach is the deformable Simplex model, which is a surface mesh where each vertex is connected to four neighboring vertices and is governed by a Newtonian expression that accounts for internal and external forces, including a balloon inflation force and an image stopping force.

d. An atlas-based approach involves the non-rigid registration of representations of spatial priors for various tissues, defined over a source image domain, onto the target image domain.

e. None of these statements are false.
