Abstract: Liver extraction from medical images like CT scan and MR images is a challenging task. There are many manuals, Semi-automatic and automatic methods available to extract the liver from computerized tomography (CT) scan images and MR images. However, no method is available in the literature to extract the liver from Magnetic Resonance Cholangio-pancreatography (MRCP) images. Extracting the liver accurately from MRCP images is needed, so that the physician can diagnose the disease easily and plan preoperative liver surgery accordingly. In this paper, we propose a liver extraction method based on Graph Cut algorithm for liver extraction from MRCP images. The experimental results show that the proposed method is very effective for liver extraction from MRCP images.
