I have a CT image of a live pig, in which I want to remove
internal organs. I have tried a whole range of methods,
spanning from manual drawing ROI to erode / dilate functions.

The segmentation is based on gray values, and some of the
internal organs i.e. kidneys have the same gray value as the
muscle tissue (which I want to keep for further analysis).

Does anyone have experience with removal of tissued or
organs in CT images, or other "smart" solultions for this
problem?
