Mapping images into the same anatomical coordinate system via image registration is a fundamental step when studying physiological processes, such as brain development. Standard registration methods are applicable when biological structures are …
Image registration is essential for medical image analysis to provide spatial correspondences. It is a difficult problem due to the modeling complexity of image appearance and the computational complexity of the deformable registration models. Thus, …
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis; it is characterized by the loss of cartilage. Automatic quantitative methods are needed to screen large image databases to assess changes in cartilage morphology. This dissertation presents an …
