Computing Based on Bayesian Models (BM)
, which can be the input image or input template and subject images, the objective is to find a shape that matches the objects in the input image or a…
Registration of Brain Images for Establishing Accurate Spatial Correspondence of Brain Structures
Fig. 1 Images contain an arrow shape with different orientations. By finding the matched feature points (marked as red points), one is able to estimate the rotation angle and translation…
Cell Segmentation via Shape Ranking
Fig. 1 Example of a whole slide image of breast tissue. Digital images of whole tissue sections are very large. This particular tissue section has been acquired at 20X resolution…
the Shape and Motion of the Lungs and Heart in Dynamic Pulmonary Imaging
and ) between the blood and ambient air; therefore, adequate pulmonary ventilation (air flow) and perfusion (blood flow) are essential for the lungs to function properly. Inadequate pulmonary function may…
Detection of Lumbar Vertebrae in CT Spine Images
computed tomography (CT) images of the lumbar spine. The resulting mean symmetric absolute surface distance of mm and Dice coefficient of %, computed from the final vertebra detection results against…
Segmentation of the Thoracic and Lumbar Vertebrae
was achieved on the training data set. 1 Introduction The spinal column forms an important support structure in the human body and mainly consists of the vertebral bones. As such,…
Segmentation of the Spinal Cord Using Continuous Max Flow with Cross-sectional Similarity Prior and Tubularity Features
denote the intensity non uniformity corrected image [8] with intensities in the normalized intensity space , where are the coordinates in the continuous image domain Throughout the whole section, we furthermore…
and Angle-Preserving Parameterization for Vertebra Surface Mesh
of a vertebra with one genus is represented by triangular patches. For each vertex in , its 1-ring region consists of patches containing the vertex . 2.1 Modified Self-organizing Deformable…
Improved Shape-Constrained Deformable Model for Segmentation of Vertebrae from CT Lumbar Spine Images
computed tomography (CT) images of the lumbar spine. The overall segmentation performance of mm in terms of mean symmetric absolute surface distance and in terms of Dice coefficient, computed against…
Shape-Constrained Deformable Model Approach for Segmentation of Vertebrae from CT Spine Images
contain three-dimensional (3D) images of the thoracolumbar spine, where each image is assigned a series of binary masks representing reference segmentations of each individual thoracolumbar vertebra from level T1 to…
