The purpose of this study is to introduce diffusion methods as a tool to label CT scan images according to their position in the human body. A comparative study of different methods based on a k-NN search is carried out and we propose a new, simple and efficient way of applying diffusion techniques that is able to give better location forecasts than methods that can be considered the current state-of-the-art.
Keywords: Anisotropic diffusion; CT scan images; Diffusion distance; Diffusion methods; Misaligned data.
