We combine a new user initialization process with a B-spline snake to create a model with the properties of a deformable template. This `template' snake can be constrained by ...
Abstract. In this paper we propose a novel non-Gaussian MRF for regularization of tensor fields for fiber tract enhancement. Two entities are considered in the model, namely, the l...
Abstract. This paper introduces a novel groupwise data-driven algorithm for non-rigid registration. The motivation behind the algorithm is to enable the analysis of groups of regis...

This paper advocates the use of shape descriptors based on moments of 3D coordinates for morphometry of the cortical sulci. These descriptors, which have been introduced more than ...
The assessment of surgical skills for Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) has traditionally been conducted with visual observation and objective scoring. This paper presents a practic...
Feature detection on MR images has largely relied on intensity classification and gradient-based magnitudes. In this paper, we propose the use of phase congruency as a more robust ...
While level sets have demonstrated a great potential for 3D medical image segmentation, their usefulness has been limited by two problems. First, 3D level sets are relatively slow ...

Abstract. Interpolation of field data from unstructured meshes requires the potentially expensive identification of the finite element or volume within which the interpolating poin...

Retinopathy of prematurity is a disease that affects the eyes of many babies who are prematurely born. If the retinopathy is not detected in the days following birth, blindness may...

The TIPS procedure is an endovascular operation guided by biplane fluoroscopy. The goal is to pass a needle from the hepatic vein through the liver into the portal vein. We are dev...
