Models that predict the soft tissue deformation caused by needle insertion could improve the accuracy of procedures such as brachytherapy and needle biopsy. Prior work on needle in...

There have been many efforts using image analysis algorithms to study cardiac kinematics, or using biomechanics strategies to study myocardial material properties. In this paper, ...
We develop a computational model of shape that extends existing Riemannian models of shape of curves to multidimensional objects of general topological type. We construct shape sp...

In this paper active feature models are proposed. They utilize local texture features and a statistical shape model for the reliable localization of landmarks in images. They are ...

In this paper, we present a versatile and robust model for geometrically complex deformable solids. Our approach can be applied to deformable tetrahedral meshes and to deformable ...
