Segmentation results for four subjects. The first column represents the results of bone skeleton and skin. The second column demonstrates the segmentation of outer abdominal wall (green) overlaid with grids of labeled ground truth (red). The third to the sixth columns show the intra- and inter- variability of abdominal wall over slices and the segmentation results of our approach (red).
