The distance transform (DT) is a general operator forming the basis of many methods in
computer vision and geometry, with great potential for practical applications. However, all …

Since the introduction of computed thoracic tomography (CT), the implications of this
imaging modality for the evaluation of patients with diverse respiratory diseases have been …

The aim of this article is to build trajectories for virtual endoscopy inside 3D medical images,
using the most automatic way. Usually the construction of this trajectory is left to the clinician …

Introduces a refined general definition of a skeleton that is based on a penalized distance
function and that cannot create any of the degenerate cases of the earlier CEASAR (Center …

We present a fast, robust and automatic method for computing centerline paths through
tubular structures for application to virtual endoscopy. The key idea is to utilize a …

(57) ABSTRACT A system, and computer implemented method are provided for interactively
displaying three-dimensional structures. Three-dimensional volume data (34) is formed from …

Computed tomography (CT) volumetric rendering techniques such as maximum intensity
projection (MIP), minimum intensity projection (MinIP), shaded surface display (SSD) …

Aim: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) based colonography represents a new imaging tool
which has mainly been investigated for polyp screening. To evaluate this approach for …

A system, and computer implemented method are provided for interactively displaying three-
dimensional structures. Three-dimensional volume data (34) is formed from a series of two …

One of the most important problems is the computation of the shortest path between two
points, because the search for the shortest path is very important in various fields, such as …
