John, the application of fuzzy c-means and other alternating cluster estimation (ACE) models to medical image segmentation is described e.g. in J. C. Bezdek, L. O. Hall, M. Clark, D. Goldgof and L. P. Clarke, Segmenting medical images with fuzzy models: an update, In: R. Yager, D. Dubois and H. Prade, Fuzzy Set Methods in Information Engineering: A Guided Tour of Applications, John Wiley and Sons, 1996. T. A. Runkler and J. C.
