title: Identification of substructures in CT-images.
abstract: Identification of substructures is one of the important issues in automated and computer assisted systems used for interpretation of radiographic images because of vague definition of organ shape. In this paper an Autoregressive model has been proposed for shape description of substructures(organs) obtained in the form of outer boundaries from the abdominal CT-images. The results of matching show the effectiveness of the proposed model in identifying substructures from the images.
