Figure 1

An algorithm for automated artifact elimination. The program successfully removes EVD, ICP monitors, air bubbles, the cranium, or any other artifacts that might corrupt the densitometry analysis. The algorithm works in a sequential order (A-F), and the resulting image can be used for histogram analysis: (A) Reading of a CT image. (B) Coordination of cranial structure. (C) Removal of obvious artifacts. (D) Sealing fractural regions. (E) Elimination of convex tissue. (F) ROI segmentation in accordance with the pre-designated boundary condition. CT, computed tomography; EVD, external ventricular drain; ICP, intracranial pressure; ROI, region of interest.
