A Shape Relationship Descriptor for Radiation Therapy Planning
In this paper we address the challenge of matching patient geometry to facilitate the design of patient treatment plans in radiotherapy. To this end we propose a novel shape descri...

A Deformable Surface Model for Vascular Segmentation
Abstract. Inspired by the motion of a solid surface under liquid pressure, this paper proposes a novel deformable surface model to segment blood vessels in medical images. In the p...

A Generic Probabilistic Active Shape Model for Organ Segmentation
Probabilistic models are extensively used in medical image segmentation. Most of them employ parametric representations of densities and make idealizing assumptions, e.g. normal di...

Building Shape Models from Lousy Data
Statistical shape models have gained widespread use in medical image analysis. In order for such models to be statistically meaningful, a large number of data sets have to be inclu...

A Cluster Overlap Measure for Comparison of Activations in fMRI Studies
Abstract. Most fMRI studies use voxel-wise statistics to carry out intrasubject as well as inter-subject analysis. We show that statistics derived from voxel-wise comparisons are l...

Modeling Adaptation Effects in fMRI Analysis
The standard general linear model (GLM) for rapid event-related fMRI design protocols typically ignores reduction in hemodynamic responses in successive stimuli in a train due to i...

Using Real-Time fMRI to Control a Dynamical System by Brain Activity Classification
We present a method for controlling a dynamical system using real-time fMRI. The objective for the subject in the MR scanner is to balance an inverted pendulum by activating the le...

Two-Tensor Tractography Using a Constrained Filter
We describe a technique to simultaneously estimate a weighted, positive-definite multi-tensor fiber model and perform tractography. Existing techniques estimate the local fiber ori...
