Among the many features used for classification in computer-aided detection (CAD) systems targeting colonic polyps, those based on differences between the shapes of polyps and fold...
Energy functional minimization is an increasingly popular technique for image segmentation. However, it is far too commonly applied with hand-tuned parameters and initializations t...
Abstract. With the ability to study brain anatomy in vivo using magnetic resonance imaging, studies on regional brain atrophy suggest possible improvements for differential diagnos...

Diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging (DT-MRI) based fiber tractography aims at reconstruction of the fiber network of brain. Most commonly employed techniques for fiber trac...
Abstract. We develop a segmentation technique for dynamic PET incorporating the physiological parameters for different regions via kinetic modeling. We demonstrate the usefulness o...

In robotic radiosurgery, a photon beam source, moved by a robot arm, is used to ablate tumors. The accuracy of the treatment can be improved by predicting respiratory motion to com...

We present a model of solid tumor growth which can account for several stages of tumorigenesis, from the early avascular phase to the angiogenesis driven proliferation. The model c...
Accurately describing interactions between medical devices and anatomical structures, or between anatomical structures themselves, is an essential step towards the adoption of comp...
