We have developed a method for forming vascular atlases using vascular distance maps and a novel vascular model-to-image registration method. Our atlas formation process begins wit...

This paper concerns a method to automatically detect drusen in a retinal image without human supervision or interaction. We use a multi-level approach, beginning with classificatio...
ImLib3D is a C++ library for 3D medical image processing research. It provides a carefully designed, object-oriented, standards conforming C++ library, as well as a separate visual...
We present a new brain segmentation framework which we apply to T1-weighted magnetic resonance image segmentation. The innovation of the algorithm in comparison to the state-of-the...

Abstract. We describe a new approach to predicting the maximum target registration error for fiducial registration. The approach is based on the analysis of a spatial stiffness mod...
In surgical simulations, the two most popular approaches to model soft tissues are Finite Element Method (FEM) and Mass-Spring System (MSS). Main advantages of FEM are accuracy and...
