Abstract

Analysis of medical images, especially the extraction of anatomical structures, is a critical component of many medical applications: surgical planning and navigation, and population studies of anatomical shapes for tracking disease progression are two primary examples. We summarize recent trends in segmentation and analysis of shapes, highlighting how different sources of information have been factored into current approaches.
