Incorporation of Gradient Vector Flow Field in a Multimodal Graph-Theoretic Approach for Segmenting the Internal Limiting Membrane from Glaucomatous Optic Nerve Head-Centered SD-OCT Volumes
The top surface of the retina and optic nerve head is called the internal limiting membrane (ILM) and is utilized for measuring several structural parameters such as Bruch's membrane opening-minimum rim width (BMO-MRW), total retinal thickness, and cup volume. The BMO-MRW, for instance, is measured as the minimum Euclidean distance between the BMO and the ILM surface, and has been shown to be superior to other conventional structural parameters for diagnosing open angle glaucoma Chauhan et al. (2013). (Source: Computerized Medical Imaging and Graphics)

Penalized Weighted Least-Squares Approach for Multienergy Computed Tomography Image Reconstruction via Structure Tensor Total Variation Regularization
Multienergy computed tomography (MECT) is an emerging technique, which has the capability in simultaneously providing multiple sets of energy-selective data at specific energy windows (Heismann et al., 2012). The gains of MECT are evident relative to current energy integrating CT in various clinical applications due to its high detection precision and robust material identification ability (Boll et al., 2010; Cormode et al., 2010). Meanwhile, the energy resolution of MECT is highly dependent on the selection of the energy bin width (Leng et al., 2011). (Source: Computerized Medical Imaging and Graphics)

Talar dome detection and its geometric approximation in CT: Sphere, cylinder or bi-truncated cone?
The human ankle is a flexible structure with multiple movement abilities including internal/external rotation, dorsiflexion/plantar flexion and inversion/eversion (Koh et al., 2004). Orthopaedic ankle-related surgery is one of the widely-used treatments for osteochondral lesions of the talus whose aim is the reproduction of the physiological functions of ankle joint. This restoration is particularly important for ligaments tensioning (Leardini, 2001). The shapes of the implanted material should be compatible with the geometry of the ligamentous structures.

Lung diaphragm tracking in CBCT images using spatio-temporal MRF
In External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT) intra fraction target motion management is an important problem for thoracic and abdominal tumors. There are many techniques for motion management like margin expansion, gated treatment, beam tracking, etc. (Murphy, 2004; Mageras and Yorke, 2004). In all these an accurate characterization of the breathing pattern is required. To observe the breathing pattern, there are three possible approaches (Source: Computerized Medical Imaging and Graphics)

Retinal image registration under the assumption of a spherical eye
We propose a method for registering a pair of retinal images. The proposed approach employs point correspondences and assumes that the human eye has a spherical shape. The image registration problem is formulated as a 3D pose estimation problem, solved by estimating the rigid transformation that relates the views from which the two images were acquired. Given this estimate, each image can be warped upon the other so that pixels with the same coordinates image the same retinal point. Extensive experimental evaluation shows improved accuracy over state of the art methods, as well as robustness to noise and spurious keypoint ...
