Segmentation of surgical devices in fluoroscopic images and in particular of guide-wires is a valuable element during surgery. In cardiac angioplasty, the problem is particularly ...
Abstract— Optimization of a similarity metric is an essential component in most medical image registration approaches based on image intensities. In this paper, two new, determin...
Abstract. In this paper, we present novel image-derived, invariant features that accurately capture both the geometric and color properties of an imaged object. These features can ...
This paper presents a novel framework for thyroid ultrasound image segmentation that aims to accurately delineate thyroid nodules. This framework, named GA-VBAC incorporates a leve...
