Computer Engineering and Applications ，2011 ，47 （28 ）：158-161. Abstract ：A new algorithm based on the improved region growing segmentation method is put forward to segment plant root CT image sequences in this paper.The 208 plant root CT image sequences are analyzed with histogram analysis ，and the basic threshold of segmentation for plant root region is defined.With threshold segmentation ，the improved region grow- ing method is implemented to extract the root region from CT image.After that ，according to the continuity of root system in the space of soil ，the whole sequences of CT images are segmented for once under the condition of choosing seed points on single image only.With the toolkit of MITK （Medical Imaging Toolkit ），3D reconstruction of plant root CT image sequenc- es segmented is implemented to check the correctness of segmentation by observing the 3D model of plant root from differ- ent views.Experimental results show that this algorithm is faster of running speed and higher of segmenting accuracy ，with which the impurity pixel existing in the background of CT image can be removed effectively and the root region is extract- ed correctively.
