Several recent studies demonstrate the potential of using tubular structures such as vessels as a basis for image registration. In this paper, we present a novel technique for the ...
This work investigates the effects of nonrigid transformation model and deformation constraints on the results of deformation-based morphometry (DBM) studies. We evaluate three pop...
—We present a framework for analyzing the shape deformation of structures within the human brain. A mathematical model is developed describing the deformation of any brain struct...

Geometric deformable models based on the level set method have become very popular in the last several years. To overcome an inherent limitation in accuracy while maintaining comp...
Abstract. Inspired by the motion of a solid surface under liquid pressure, this paper proposes a novel deformable surface model to segment blood vessels in medical images. In the p...
