Radiology, which deals with medical images for diagnosis purposes, has seen a lot of improvements during the last decades thanks to information technology. The migration from stud...
In this paper, a spatially constrained mixture model for the segmentation of MR brain images is presented. The novelty of this work is a new, edge preserving, smoothness prior whic...

Modeling the deflection of flexible needles is an essential part of needle insertion simulation and path planning. In this paper, three models are compared in terms of accuracy in ...
This paper presents a statistical shape model for automatic skull stripping of MR brain images. A surface model of the brain boundary is hierarchically represented by a set of ove...
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 ...
