In this paper, we evaluate different schemes for constructing a mean shape anatomical atlas for atlas-based segmentation of MR brain images. Each atlas is constructed and validate...
Abstract. Magnetic resonance (MR) images can be acquired by multiple receiver coil systems to improve signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and to decrease acquisition time. The optimal SNR ...

Spatial normalization is frequently used to map data to a standard coordinate system by removing inter-subject morphological differences, thereby allowing for group analysis to be ...
Abstract. An important assessment in patients with ischemic heart disease is whether myocardial contractility may improve after treatment. The prediction of myocardial contractilit...

Abstract. Recent advances in molecular biology are providing new opportunities for breast cancer imaging. Our approach uses ultrasound to image viscoelastic features of tumors. The...
Many types of transformations are used to model deformations in medical image registration. While some focus on modeling local changes, some on continuity and invertibility, there ...

This work analyses the accuracy of estimating the location of 3D landmarks and characteristic image structures. Based on nonlinear estimation theory we study the minimal stochastic...
Statistical iterative reconstruction algorithms have shown improved image quality over conventional nonstatistical methods in PET by using accurate system response models and measu...
A method is proposed for converting digitized mammograms to a normalized representation, in which pixel values are linearly related to the logarithm of x-ray exposure. This method ...
