点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Deformable image registration and segmentation can provide the doctors with better image quality and vital information and therefore is becoming the essential part in medical treatment planning and diagnosis. In this proposal we will investigate new deformable image processing techniques including intelligent joint image registration and segmentation, vessel segmentation and deformable image registration of inhomogeneous soft tissues. The outcome of this research will provide an effective way to reduce doctors' reading time and improve accuracy and quality of diagnosis and treatment planning. The technologies developed will be used for the treatment planning and guidance in surgical procedures on the liver and can also be extended to the lungs, the brain and the heart.
