Rigid and Non-Rigid Surface Registration for Range Imaging Applications in Medicine
Abstract
The introduction of low-cost range imaging technologies that are capable of acquiring the three-dimensional geometry of an observed scene in an accurate, dense, and dynamic manner holds great potentia...
Respiratory Self-Navigation for Whole-Heart Coronary Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Abstract
As the average life span of the world population increases, cardiovascular diseases firmly establish themselves as the most frequent cause of death in many of the developed countries. Coronary artery dise...
Boosting Methods for Automatic Segmentation of Focal Liver Lesions
Abstract
Over the past decades, huge progress has been made in treatme nt of cancer, decreasing fatality rates despite a growing number of cases. Technical achievements had a big share in this development. With modern image ac...
3-D Imaging of the Heart Chambers with C-arm CT
Abstract
Nowadays, angiography is the gold standard for the visualization of the morphology of the cardiac vasculature and cardiac chambers in the interventional suite. Up to now, high resolution 2-D X-ray images are acquired with a C-arm system...
Accelerated Non-contrast-enhanced Morphological and Functional Magnetic Resonance Angiography
Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases such as stroke, stenosis, peripheral or renal artery disease require accurate angiographic visualization techniques both for diagnosis and treatment planning. Beside ...
Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Percutaneous Interventions
Abstract
The fundamental motivation for all percutaneous interventions is to improve patient care by reducing the invasiveness of the procedure. An increasing number of percutaneous interventions from biopsies, targeted drug delivery t...
Automatic Classification of Cerebral Gliomas by Means of Quantitative Emission Tomography and Multimodal Imaging
Abstract
Cerebral gliomas represent a common type of cancer of the human brain with many tumor grades which express a huge diversity in growth characteristics and have a highly var...
C-arm Computed Tomography with Extended Axial Field-of-View
Abstract
C-arm computed tomography (CT) is an innovative imaging technique in the interventional room that enables a C-arm system to generate 3D images like a CT system. Clinical re- ports demonstrate that this technique can help red...
Ansichtenauswahl für die 3-D-Rekonstruktion statischer Szenen
Abstract
The problem of 3-D reconstruction is one of the main topics in computer vision. If certain imaging parameters can be modified to improve the 3-D reconstruction result, the question how to select this parameters belongs to ...
Automated Evaluation of Three Dimensional Ultrasonic Datasets
Abstract
Non-destructive testing has become necessary to ensure the quality of materials and components either in-service or at the production stage. This requires the use of a rapid, robust and reliable testing technique...
