Automatic Retrieval of Anatomical Structures in 3D Medical Images

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNCS,volume 905))

Abstract

This paper describes a method to automatically generate the mapping between a completely labeled reference image and 3D medical images of patients. To achieve this, we combined three techniques: the extraction of 3D feature lines, their non-rigid registration and the extension of the deformation to the whole image space using warping techniques. As experimental results, we present the retrieval of the cortical and ventricles structures in MRI images of the brain.
