发帖数: 48 | 1 Aims and Scope: Exploring and using anatomical shape properties plays an
increasingly important role in many medical imaging and image processing
applications. For examples, in medical image segmentation, prior knowledge
on the shape of interest has been used to achieve more accurate segmentation
, e.g. in case of ambiguities owing to limited image quality. In
neuroscience, the shape of certain brain structures, such as hippocampus,
has been shown to be useful for predicting the development of a brain
disease, such as Alzheimer’s. In cardiac imaging, the accurate tracking of
the shape of the left and right ventricles facilitates the computer aided
diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases.
While shape representation, modeling and analysis have been widely studied
in both the computer vision and medical imaging societies for many years,
there are still many unsolved problems. Furthermore, new medical imaging
techniques and applications produce higher dimensional data, such as 4D
longitudinal data, which bring in new challenges to shape modeling and
analysis. For this special issue, we invite researchers from both medical
imaging and computer vision societies to report on their recent progress in
this area and discuss the future direction of this important topic.
This Special Issue will include, but is not limited to the following topics,
with applications to medical image analysis.
- Anatomic and functional shape representation and matching
- Shape based medical image segmentation
- Shape registration
- Statistical shape analysis,
- Shape deformation
- Shape based abnormity detection
- Shape tracking and longitudinal shape analysis
- Machine learning for shape modeling and analysis
- Shape based computer-aid-diagnosis
- Shape based medical navigation
- Benchmark and validation of shape representation, analysis and modeling
algorithms.
