Hi friends,

I am trying to segment a 3D gray-level medical image. The area of my =
interest is a relatively dark (somehow black)area that is surrounded by =
a relatively lighter (gray and white) area. The problem with this region =
is that there are a lot of thin gray edges (membranes) that are of no =
importance for me, i.e. I do not need them. In other words, I want to =
mark the whole region (and hopefilly, as if the thin edges that are =
inside do not exit).

Can anybody give me ideas about what segmentation filters to use? hoe to =
get rid of the thin edges without damaging the whole images.

I will be thankfull for any kind of help.

Zein
