This paper describes a method based on an automatic segmentation process to coregister carpal bones of the same patient imaged at different time points. A rigid registration was chosen to avoid artificial bone deformations and to allow finding eventual differences in the bone shape due to erosion, disease regression, or other eventual...

The automatic and computerized recognition of Regions of Interest (ROI) is a crucial step in the process and analysis of medical images. The reasons are many and include the increase of available medical image data, the wide variety of devices and methods for image acquisition and the need to provide mechanisms making the analysis more accurate...

This work aims to achieve an automatic and optimal graph cut phase based on a segmentation method presented in a previous paper. A graph-based segmentation algorithm, starting from a seed point belonging to the region of interest (ROI), is able to find the Minimum Path Spanning Tree (MPST) by using a new cost function and an optimal aggregation...
