Training models of anatomic shape variability.
Learning probability distributions of the shape of anatomic structures requires fitting shape representations to human expert segmentations from training sets of medical images. The quality of statistical segmentation and registration methods is directly related to the quality of this initial shape fitting, yet the subject is largely overlooked or described in an ad hoc way. This article presen...
متن کاملAnatomic Segmentation of Statistical Shape Models
Background: Shape segmentation is one of the fundamental tools in shape processing and analysis, and it provides a starting point for building part based shape models. A multitude of methods for segmenting static and dynamic shapes has been developed over the last decades [1] based on various intrinsic and extrinsic geometric features. Interestingly, so far no method seems to make explicit use ...
متن کاملMedial models incorporating shape variability for 3D shape analysis
Knowledge about the biological variability of anatomical objects is essential for statistical shape analysis and discrimination between healthy and pathological structures. This paper describes a novel approach that incorporates variability of an object population into the generation of a characteristic 3D shape model. The proposed shape representation is based on a fine-scale spherical harmoni...
متن کاملAnatomic variability of groin innervation.
Inguinal hernia repairs are very common yet fairly complex surgical procedures.Variations in the anatomical course of the inguinal nerves require that diligence is taken in their proper recognition. Inadvertent surgical injury to these nerves is associated with long term postoperative pain and complications. The aim of the present study was to highlight the complexity and variation in the inner...
متن کاملActive Shape Models-Their Training and Application
Model-based vision is firmly established as a robust approach to recognizing and locating known rigid objects in the presence of noise, clutter, and occlusion. It is more problematic to apply modelbased methods to images of objects whose appearance can vary, though a number of approaches based on the use of flexible templates have been proposed. The problem with existing methods is that they sa...
