Abstract. A novel interactive virtual needle insertion simulation is presented. The insertion model simulates three-degree-of-freedom needle motion, physically-based needle forces,...
Abstract--Medical image segmentation has become an essential technique in clinical and research-oriented applications. Because manual segmentation methods are tedious, and fully au...
This article addresses visualization of deformation or shape differences between bones while conventional visualization techniques are often about a single bone such as its 3D rec...
We propose a novel Active Volume Model (AVM) which deforms in a free-form manner to minimize energy. Unlike Snakes and level-set active contours which only consider curves or surfa...
In this paper, we focus on the Image Registration problem. Mathematically, this problem consists of minimizing an energy which is composed of a regularization term and a similarit...
