Abstract

In this paper, we propose a method for automated assessment of small bowel motility function based on image analysis using Cine MR Image. In this study, we first use a superpixels based method to segment the target small bowel region and then the temporal area change of the segmented small bowel region is used for quantitative assessment of the small bowel motility function. The main contribution of this paper is to improve the measurement accuracy of the small bowel motility function from Cine MR imaging and develop an efficient, useful and automatic assessment system based on image processing.
