A Level-set Approach to Joint Image Segmentation and Registration with Application to CT Lung Imaging

Image registration and segmentation techniques are fundamental components of medical image analysis as they form the basis for many advanced frameworks for computerized understanding of medical imaging. For example, registration and segmentation of X –ray Computed Tomography (CT) can be used for a vast range of emerging pulmonary applications (Schnabel et al., 2016). Such applications in current and developing medical practice include: personalized adjustment of image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) (Xing et al., 2006), assessment of disease a nd treatment progression, e.g.
