Purpose A pulmonary respiration model for deformable registration of lung CT for the
surgery path planning and surgical navigation is an important, difficult, and time-consuming …

We introduce a new approach for spline-based elastic image registration using both point
landmarks and intensity information. With this approach, both types of information as well as …

Background Deformable image registration allows volume of interest (VOI)-and voxel-based
analysis of longitudinal changes in fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) tumor uptake in patients with …

Image registration plays an important role within pulmonary image analysis. Accurate
registration is critical to post-analysis of lung mechanical properties. To improve registration …

Various applications in the field of pulmonary image analysis require a registration of CT
images of the lung. For example, a registration-based estimation of the breathing motion is …

With the increasing availability of new image registration approaches, an unbiased
evaluation is becoming more needed so that clinicians can choose the most suitable …

Sliding motion is a difficult issue in regularised deformable image registration. A typical
example occurs in thoracic 4D CT images where the lungs slide along the ribcage. Current …

The interplay of mechanical forces transduces diverse physico-biochemical processes to
influence lung morphogenesis, growth, maturation, remodeling and repair. Because tissue …

We propose a novel method to model local regularization of medical image registration. The
regularization model incorporates information from two different knowledge sources: 1 …

Atmungsbedingte Bewegungen stellen eine zentrale Herausforderung in der
Strahlentherapie dar. Als Grundlage der Berücksichtigung von Atembewegungen während …
