In addition, nearby organs and tissues have similar intensity distributions to the lung, making the lungs boundaries ambiguous. In this study, a method of lung shape propagation segmentation based on the narrowband thinking is proposed, the contour lines of the lung which are adopted by level-set method through shape propagation based on the narrowband, as the initial seed of the next slice. After the lung seg- mentation, visualization technology is used for tissue reconstruction. The method is proved for efficient lung segmentation which has high efficiency compared with congener algorithm and decreases the manual work successfully.
