Two Point Minimum Cost Path Approach for CTA Coronary Centerline Extraction
Bottom
No opinion
Metz C., Schaap M., van Walsum T., Niessen W.
In this work a minimum cost path approach is adopted to extract coronary artery centerlines from CTA data. The algorithm depends on the manual definition of the start and end point of the vessel. The cost image used in the minimal cost path approach is based [...]

3D Segmentation in the Clinic: A Grand  Challenge II: MS lesion segmentation
Bottom
No opinion
Styner M., Lee J., Chin B., Chin M.S., Commowick O., Tran H., Markovic-Plese S., Jewells V., Warfield S.
This paper describes the setup of a segmentation competition for the automatic extraction of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) lesions from brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data. This competition is one of three competitions that make up a comparison workshop at [...]

Morphological Appearance Manifolds in Computational Anatomy: Groupwise Registration and Morphological Analysis
Bottom
No opinion
Lian N., Davatzikos C.
The field of computational anatomy has developed rigorous frameworks for analyzing anatomical shape, based on diffeomorphic transformations of a template. However, differences in algorithms used for template warping, in regularization parameters, and in the [...]

Simultaneous Manifold Learning and Clustering: Grouping White Matter Fiber Tracts Using a Volumetric White Matter Atlas
Bottom
No opinion
Wassermann D., Deriche R.
We propose a new clustering algorithm. This algorithm performs clustering and manifold learning simultaneously by using a graph-theoretical approach to manifold learning. We apply this algorithm in order to cluster white matter fiber tracts obtained [...]

Construction of Statistical Shape Models from Minimal Deformations
Bottom
No opinion
Zikic D., Glocker B., Sass Hansen M., Khamene A., Navab N.
Abstract. Statistical shape models (SSM) capture the variation of shape across a population, in order to allow further analysis. Previous work demonstrates that deformation fields contain global transformation components, even if global pre- registration is [...]

The Labeling of Cortical Sulci using Multidimensional Scaling
Bottom
No opinion
Mani M., Srivastava A., Barillot C.
The task of classifying or labeling cortical sulci is made difficult by the fact that individual sulci may not have unique distinguishing features and usually need to be identified by a multivariate feature set that takes the relative spatial arrangement into [...]

On What Manifold do Diffusion Tensors Live?
Bottom
No opinion
Pasternak O., Verma R., Sochen N., Basser P.J.
Diffusion tensor imaging has become an important research and clinical tool, owing to its unique ability to infer microstructural properties of living tissue. Increased use has led to a demand for statistical tools to analyze diffusion tensor data and [...]

Combinatorial Ricci Curvature for Image Processing
Bottom
No opinion
Saucan E., Appleboim E., Wolansky G., Zeevi Y.
A new Combinatorial Ricci curvature and Laplacian operators for grayscale images are introduced and tested on 2D medical images. These notions are based upon more general concepts developed by R. Forman. Further applications are also suggested.

Computational Biomechanics for Medicine III - Workshop proceedings
Bottom
No opinion
Miller K., Nielsen P.
A novel partnership between surgeons and machines, made possible by advances in computing and engineering technology, could overcome many of the limitations of traditional surgery. By extending surgeons' ability to plan and carry out surgical interventions [...]

Comparison of Displacement-Based and Force-Based Mapped Meshing
Bottom
No opinion
Magnotta V., Li W., Grosland N.
The finite element (FE) method is a powerful tool for the study of biomechanics. One of the limiting factors in transitioning this tool into the clinic is the time required to generate high quality meshes for analysis. Previously, we developed a mapped [...]

IGSTK: Building High Quality Roads with Open Source Software
Bottom
No opinion
Ibanez L., Enquobahrie A., Turek M., Jomier J., Avila R., Cheng P., Yaniv Z., Lindseth F., Gary K., Cleary K.
This paper is a position statement on the benefits that an Open Source toolkit can bring to the field of image guided surgery. The particular example discussed here is the IGSTK toolkit. IGSTK is an open source software project designed for supporting the [...]
