5.4 Image Processing

The input to the multiple-fracture mandibular reconstruction procedure is a sequence of 2D grayscale CT images of a human mandible exhibiting multiple fractures. Figure 5.2 shows three consecutive CT slices of such an image sequence. The image processing tasks of thresholding and connected component labeling, described in the previous chapter, are undertaken to segment the broken bone fragments from the surrounding tissue.
