of Topological Constraints in Medical Image Segmentation
Fig. 1 a) Subcortical structures have a spherical topology. For instance, the shape of the hippocampus can be continuously deformed onto a sphere. b) The human cerebral cortex is a…

Fig. 1 Atlas MRI and labeled image from Harvard Medical School [58]. Atlas-based segmentation results (ventricles, corpus callosum, thalamus, trunk and cerebellum) using a tandem of affine registration and Demons algorithm as…
with A p ∈ {“obj”, “bkg”} can be used to represent the segmentation of P into object (“obj”) and background (“bkg”) voxels. Let N be the set of unordered neighboring…
is often chosen to be a signed distance function of the embedded contour(s). Such a signed distance function can be computed very efficiently using the fast marching method [94, 109] or…
used to describe the region of interest D consists of four elements, namely, a probabilistic atlas (), texture-based features (), relationships , and specific segmentation methods for organs in the…
Fig. 1 Sketch of the haemodynamics simulation pipeline Image segmentation here refers to the extraction of the boundaries of vascular objects from a 3D image. The outcome is a binarization…
Fig. 1 Coronal Cine MRI slices visualizing the peristaltic wave in the descending colon In order to integrate such a novel imaging technique into the daily clinical routine, it is mandatory…
