this paper introduces a novel intervention planning methodology facilitating the use of a parallel manipulator (Hexapod) in a robotic skull-base surgery (.SBS.) system. this safety intensive procedure requires a cavit...

Segmentation of MRI volumes is complicated by RF inhomogeneity, noise and partial volume artifacts. Fully automatic methods often do not cope well with a combination of these problems. Semi-automatic methods are gener...

We propose new hybrid methods for automated segmentation of radiological patient data and the Visible Human data. In this paper, we integrate boundary-based and region-based segmentation methods which amplifies the st...

A major problem with non-rigid image registration techniques in many applications is their tendency to reduce the volume of contrast-enhancing structures [10]. Contrast enhancement is an intensity inconsistency, which...

three-dimensional rotational angiography (3DRA) is a promising imaging technique which yields high-resolution isotropic 3D images of vascular structures. Raw 3DRA images, however, usually suffer from a high noise leve...

Measuring the thickness of sheet-like (or plate-like) anatomical structures, such as articular cartilages and brain cortex, in 3D magnetic resonance (MR) images is often an important diagnostic procedure. the purpose ...

this paper presents a user-steered segmentation algorithm based on the livewire paradigm. Livewire is an image-feature driven method that finds the optimal path between user-selected image locations, thus reducing the...

We propose an efficient and non-parametric hierarchical partitioning approach that operates on a general 3D shape. the method suggested makes it possible to process an arbitrary shape provided that it can be described...
详细信息
Blood pool agent (BPA) contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (CE-MRA) images have been acquired during the first-pass of the contrast agent and in the steady-state. Arterial visualization, which is hampered...

Interactive surgery simulations have conflicting requirements of speed and accuracy. In this paper we show how to combine a relatively accurate deformation model—the Finite Element (FE) method— and interactive cutti...
