Estimating Partial Volume Induced Local Blurring of Organ Contours in Computed Tomograms

We report on ongoing research on multi-scale contrast edge extraction for two-dimensional CT and MR images from clinical routine examinations. We will briefly present the interdisciplinary theoretical and methodological approach as well as recent results of the first experimental implementation. Current deficiencies and further routes of research are also touched on.
