Normalization of Magnetic Resonance Images and its Application to the Diagnosis of the Scoliotic Spine Abstract Due to its excellent soft tissue contrast and novel innovative acquisition sequences, Magnetic Resonance Imaging has become one of the most popular imaging modalities in health c...

Probabilistic Modeling for Segmentation in Magnetic Resonance Images of the Human Brain Abstract This thesis deals with the fully automatic generation of semantic annotations for medical imaging data by means of medical image segmentation and labeling. In particular, we focus on the segmenta...

Application of Pattern Recognition Methods in Biomechanics (external: University of Calgary, Canada) Abstract Biomechanical studies often attempt to identify differences between groups. Several scientific methods are available for identifying such differences. Traditional methods often foc...

Praktikable Ansätze für mehrsprachige und nicht-muttersprachliche Spracherkennung

Adaptive Filtering for Noise Reduction in X-Ray Computed Tomography Abstract The projection data measured in computed tomography (CT) and, consequently, the slices reconstructed from these data are noisy. This thesis investigates methods for structure preserving noise reduction in reconstruc...
