Atlas-based liver segmentation for nonhuman primate research.

The proposed atlas-based liver segmentation technique is generalizable to various sizes and species of nonhuman primates and facilitates preclinical infectious disease research studies. While the image analysis software used is commercially available and facilities with funding can access the software to perform similar nonhuman primate liver quantitative analyses, the approach can be implemented in open-source frameworks as there is nothing proprietary about these methods.
