Abstract: The analysis of medical images has been woven into the fabric of the pattern analysis and machine intelligence (PAMI) community since the earliest days of these Transactions. Initially, the efforts in this area were seen as applying pattern analysis and computer vision techniques to another interesting dataset. However, over the last two to three decades, the unique nature of the problems presented within this area of study have led to the development of a new discipline in its own right. Examples of these include: the types of image information that are acquired, the fully three-dimensional image data, the nonrigid nature of object motion and deformation, and the statistical variation of both the underlying normal and abnormal ground truth. In this paper, we look at progress in the field over the last 20 years and suggest some of the challenges that remain for the years to come.

Symmetrization of the Non-rigid Registration Problem Using Inversion-Invariant Energies: Application to Multiple Sclerosis
Pascal Cachier,David Rey +1 more
- 11 Oct 2000
TL;DR: It is shown that the asymmetry of quadratic regularization energies causes an oversmoothing of expending regions relatively to shrinking regions, hampering in particular registration-based detection of evolving processes.
A Bayesian Joint Mixture Framework for the Integration ofAnatomical Information in Functional Image Reconstruction
TL;DR: The EM2 algorithm resulting from the joint mixture framework has the best bias/variance performance when compared with six other closely related algorithms that incorporate anatomical information to varying degrees.

TL;DR: The automatically segmented chambers are exploited to predict the initial position of the major coronary centerlines and define a vessel-specific region-of-interest (ROI) to constrain the following centerline refinement.
Mapping techniques for aligning sulci across multiple brains

- 15 Nov 2003
TL;DR: To quantify how accurately the geometric features of the cortex are mapped into the same location, sulcal alignment across multiple brains is analyzed, and probabilistic maps for different sul cal regions are generated to be used in automatic labelling of segmented sulcal regions.
On the Fractal Geometry of DNA by the Binary Image Analysis
Carlo Cattani,Gaetano Pierro +1 more
TL;DR: The genome of Drosophila melanogaster has been considered by focusing on the chromosome 3r, which shows the highest fractality with a corresponding higher level of complexity, and it is shown that sequences with higher FD also have a higher frequency distribution of guanine, while low FD is characterized by the higher presence of adenine.

A method for registration of 3-D shapes
Paul J. Besl,H.D. McKay +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a general-purpose representation-independent method for the accurate and computationally efficient registration of 3D shapes including free-form curves and surfaces, based on the iterative closest point (ICP) algorithm, which requires only a procedure to find the closest point on a geometric entity to a given point.

Snakes : Active Contour Models
TL;DR: This work uses snakes for interactive interpretation, in which user-imposed constraint forces guide the snake near features of interest, and uses scale-space continuation to enlarge the capture region surrounding a feature.
Fronts propagating with curvature-dependent speed: algorithms based on Hamilton-Jacobi formulations
Stanley Osher,James A. Sethian +1 more
TL;DR: The PSC algorithm as mentioned in this paper approximates the Hamilton-Jacobi equations with parabolic right-hand-sides by using techniques from the hyperbolic conservation laws, which can be used also for more general surface motion problems.

Active shape models—their training and application
TL;DR: This work describes a method for building models by learning patterns of variability from a training set of correctly annotated images that can be used for image search in an iterative refinement algorithm analogous to that employed by Active Contour Models (Snakes).
