Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is a medical imaging modality used to visualize the distribution of radioactive tracers in a patient’s body. While SPECT’s utility as a diagnostic modality has long been established, its use for planning and managing nuclear medicine therapies has grown in recent years. With these new applications comes a need […]

Non-invasive imaging methods are capable of revealing content that is not visible with the naked eye. In this thesis, we present solutions for three common areas of application: digitization of cultural heritage, medicine, and quality assessment. The success story of those approaches is furthermore driven by applying image processing methods allowing a human to investigate […]

Real-time Respiratory Motion Analysis Using GPU-accelerated Range Imaging Abstract Respiratory motion analysis and management are crucial issues for a plurality of medical applications. Of particular scientific concern are methods that allow to analyze the patient’s breathing in a non-invasive and real-time manner that does not involve ionizing radiation exposure. For this purpose, range imaging technologies, […]Real-time Respiratory Motion Analysis Using GPU-accelerated Range Imaging Abstract Respiratory motion analysis and management are crucial issues for a plurality of medical applications.

Robust Personalization of Cardiac Computational Models Abstract Heart failure (HF) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the Western world, yet early diagnosis and treatment remain a major challenge. As computational cardiac models are becoming more mature, they are slowly evolving into clinical tools to better stratify HF patients, predict risk and perform […]

Respiratory Motion Compensation in X-Ray Fluoroscopy Abstract Fluoroscopy is a common imaging modality in medicine for guidance of minimally invasive interventions due to its high temporal and spatial resolution and the good visibility of interventional devices and bones. To counteract its lack of 3-D information and soft-tissue contrast, the X-ray images can be enhanced with […]

3-D Imaging of Coronary Vessels Using C-arm CT Abstract Cardiovascular disease has become the number one cause of death worldwide. For the diagnosis and therapy of coronary artery disease, interventional C-arm-based fluoroscopy is animaging method of choice. While these C-arm systems are also capable of rotating around the patient and thus allow a CT-like 3-D […]
