Abstract. Quality of segmentations obtained by 3D Active Appearance Models (AAMs) crucially depends on underlying training data. MRI heart data, however, often come noisy, incomple...
This work studies limits on estimating the width of thin tubular structures in 3D images. Based on nonlinear estimation theory we analyze the minimal stochastic error of estimating...
We introduce an elastic registration approach which is based on a physical deformation model and uses Gaussian elastic body splines (GEBS). We formulate an extended energy function...
We propose a novel trace-based method to extract vessel axes from gray-scale angiograms without preliminary segmentations. Our method traces the axes on an optimization framework w...
Over the past years many computer aided diagnosis (CAD) schemes have been presented for the detection of colonic polyps in CT Colonography. The vast majority of these methods (impl...

Abstract. Accurate patient registration and referencing is a key element in navigated surgery. Unfortunately all existing methods are either invasive or very time consuming. In thi...

Abstract. Freehand 3D ultrasound systems acquire sets of B-Mode ultrasound images tagged with position information obtained by a tracking device. For both further processing and cl...
In medical imaging, parameterized 3D surface models are of great interest for anatomical modeling and visualization, statistical comparisons of anatomy, and surface-based registrat...
