abstract：:Medical image segmentation is the crucial process for three-dimensional (3D) modeling. Many studies have claimed to suggest more accurate ways of segmentation. However, such research seems to have the drawback that it works against the parsimony principle. These methods have to resegment the regions of interest (ROIs)...
