Deformable Organisms for Automatic Medical Image Analysis
We introduce a new approach to medical image analysis that combines deformable model methodologies with concepts from the field of artificial life. In particular, we propose "deformable organisms", autonomous agents whose task is the automatic segmentation, labeling, and quantitative analysis of anatomical structures in medical images. Analogous to natural organisms capable of voluntary movemen...

teraction, global-to-local deformations, shape statistics, setting low-level parameters, and incorporating new forces or energy terms. However, incorporating expert knowledge to automatically guide deformations can not be easily and elegantly achieved using the classical deformable model low-level energy-based fitting mechanisms. In this chapter we review Deformable Organisms, a decision-making...
متن کاملPhysics-Based Deformable Organisms for Medical Image Analysis
Previously, “Deformable organisms” were introduced as a novel paradigm for medical image analysis that uses artificial life modelling concepts. Deformable organisms were designed to complement the classical bottomup deformable models methodologies (geometrical and physical layers), with top-down intelligent deformation control mechanisms (behavioral and cognitive layers). However, a true physic...
متن کاملAutomatic Rigid and Deformable Medical Image Registration
Advanced imaging techniques have been widely used to study the anatomical structure and functional metabolism in medical and clinical applications. Images are acquired from a variety of scanners (CT/MR/PET/SPECT/Ultrasound), which provide physicians with complementary information to diagnose and detect specific regions of a patient. However, due to the different modalities and imaging orientati...
متن کاملIntelligent Deformable Organisms: An Artificial Life Approach to Medical Image Analysis
We propose and demonstrate a new paradigm for medical image analysis that borrows concepts from the field of artificial life. The paradigm prescribes intelligent agents in the form of artificial organisms whose primary objective is the proper segmentation and analysis of anatomical structures in medical images. An organism’s ‘awareness’ of the segmentation process guides it to identify landmark...
