Proper Delineation of the tumour boundary and assessment of tumour size can take crucial part in treatment planning and monitoring treatment response. We investigate a fully automated Simple linear iterative clustering (SLIC) superpixel-based method for detection and segmentation of pathological tissues like oedema, tumour and necrosis associated with Osteosarcoma. Experimental results provide a close match to expert delineation and was able to estimate areas of active tumor and necrosis with good accuracy.
