The quality of cardiac images acquired with multi-detector CT scanners has improved significantly, to the point where minimally invasive examination of the coronary arteries became...
Mechanical models for soft human organs are necessary for a variety of medical applications, such as surgical planning, virtual reality surgery simulators, and for diagnostic purpo...
We are in the process of constructing a high resolution, high signal to noise ratio (SNR) dynamic MRI dataset for the human heart using methodology similar to that employed to cons...

We combine a new user initialization process with a B-spline snake to create a model with the properties of a deformable template. This `template' snake can be constrained by ...
Abstract. In this paper we propose a novel non-Gaussian MRF for regularization of tensor fields for fiber tract enhancement. Two entities are considered in the model, namely, the l...
Abstract. This paper introduces a novel groupwise data-driven algorithm for non-rigid registration. The motivation behind the algorithm is to enable the analysis of groups of regis...

This paper advocates the use of shape descriptors based on moments of 3D coordinates for morphometry of the cortical sulci. These descriptors, which have been introduced more than ...
The assessment of surgical skills for Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) has traditionally been conducted with visual observation and objective scoring. This paper presents a practic...
