4D Multi-atlas Label Fusion using Longitudinal Images

Aug. 29, 2017—Yuankai Huo, Susan M. Resnick and Bennett A. Landman. “4D Multi-atlas Label Fusion using Longitudinal Images”. MICCAI Patch-MI Workshop, 2017. Full text: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bzzeqiij2Zara1ZlQXJiclM2UEE Abstract Longitudinal reproducibility is an essential concern in automated medical image segmentation, yet has proven to be an elusive objective as manual brain structure tracings have shown more than 10% variability. To improve reproducibility, longitudinal...
