Analysis of speech of people with Parkinson's disease Abstract The analysis of speech of people with Parkinson's disease is an interesting and highly relevant topic that has been addressed in the research community during several years.There are important contributions of this topic consideri...

Reconstruction Techniques for Dynamic Radial MRI Abstract Today, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an essential clinical imaging modality and routinely used for orthopedic, neurological, cardiovascular, and oncological diagnosis. The relatively long scan times lead to two limitations in onc...

Motion Corrected Quantitative Imaging in Multimodal Emission Tomography Abstract Nuclear medicine has been using single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) for several decades in order to diagnose and enable the treatment of patients for various clinical applications. Traditionally, r...

Dynamic Interventional Perfusion Imaging: Reconstruction Algorithms and Clinical Evaluation Abstract Acute ischaemic stroke is a major cause for death and disabilities with increasing prevalence in aging societies. Novel interventional stroke treatment procedures have the potential to improve...

High Performance Iterative X-Ray CT with Application in 3-D Mammography and Interventional C-arm Imaging Systems Abstract Medical image reconstruction is a key component for a broad range of medical imaging technologies. For classical Computed Tomography systems the amount of measured signals...

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...
