— Automatic identification and extraction of bone contours from x-ray images is an essential first step task for further medical image analysis. In this paper we propose a 3D s...
A high-precision navigation system for Anterior Cruciate Ligament(ACL) reconstruction surgery is presented. In this system, 3D CT data is used to visualize the structure of bones a...
To assure a correct position and orientation of the patient’s eye in radiation treatment, a new approach in image-guided radiotherapy is used to determine the misalignment of the...

— This paper presents a new method for creating a single panoramic image of a long bone from several individual fluoroscopic X-ray images. Panoramic images are useful preoperati...
In the segmentation of natural images, most algorithms rely on the concept of occlusion. In x-ray images, however, this assumption is violated, since x-ray photons penetrate most ...
Worldwide, 30% – 40% of women and 13% of men suffer from osteoporotic fractures of the bone, particularly the older people. Doctors in the hospitals need to manually inspect a l...
Segmentation of femurs in Anterior-Posterior x-ray images is very important for fracture detection, computer-aided surgery and surgical planning. Existing methods do not perform we...
Estimation of the 3D pose of bones in 2D images plays an important role in computer-assisted diagnosis and surgery. Existing work has focused on registering a 3D model of the bone...
In many cases x-ray images are the only basis for surgery planning. Nevertheless it is desirable to draw conclusions about the 3D-anatomy of the patient from such data. This work ...
