Abstract

In the field of medical science, one of the oldest and frequently used techniques, for detecting fractures/defects in human bones is X-Ray. This is worth to do research on segmentation of X-Ray images and inventing the new techniques for the same. In this paper we used X-Ray Dental Images and Segmentation is done using Level Set Active Contour.
