: Statistical shape models are powerful tools for model-based segmentation and have been sucessfully applied to the segmentation of various structures in medical images. Though the...
Anatomical shapes present a unique problem in terms of accurate representation and medical image segmentation. Three-dimensional (3D) statistical shape models have been extensivel...

Biomedical imaging of large patient populations, both cross-sectionally and longitudinally, is becoming a standard technique for noninvasive, in-vivo studies of the pathophysiolog...
The use of statistical shape models is a promising approach for robust segmentation of medical images. One of the major challenges in building a 3D shape model from a training set ...
Automatic localisation of correspondences for the construction of Statistical Shape Models from examples has been the focus of intense research during the last decade. Several alg...
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...
