Automatic Segmentation of Lung Fields in Chest Radiographs
We present algorithms for the automatic delineation of lung fields in chest radiographs. We first develop a rule-based scheme that detects lung contours using a general framework...

3D Image Matching Using a Finite Element Based Elastic Deformation Model
We present a new approach for the computation of the deformation field between three dimensional (3D) images. The deformation field minimizes the sum of the squared differences b...
