hello I am in master I have chosen as final project study, the segmentation of medical images, I found some difficulty in impelementation of some segmentation algorithm, especially regiongowing can you help me, I want a segmentation program using the algorithm regiongrowing in matlab Thank you in advance for your reply.

simple matlab code for region growing segmentation
ABSTRACT
Our research deals with a semi-automatic region-growing segmentation technique. This method only needs one seed
inside the region of interest (ROI). We applied it for spinal cord segmentation but it also shows results for parotid glands or even tumors. Moreover, it seems to be a general segmentation method as it could be applied in other computer vision domains then medical imaging.We use both the thresholding simplicity and the spatial information. The gray-scale and spatial distances from the seed to all the other pixels are computed. By normalizing and subtracting to 1 we obtain the probability for a pixel to belong to the same region as the seed. We will explain the algorithm and show some preliminary results which are encouraging.
