    • Application of Image Processing Functions for Brain Tumor Enhancement in Intraoperative Ultrasound Image Data 

      Chalopin, Claire; Mbuyamba, Elisee Ilunga; Aragon, Jesus Guillermo Cabal; Rodriguez, Juan Carlos Camacho; Arlt, Felix; Cervantes, Juan Gabriel Avina; Meixensberger, Juergen; Lindner, Dirk (The Eurographics Association, 2017)
      Intraoperative ultrasound (iUS) imaging supports neurosurgeons significantly during brain tumor operations. At the beginning of the intervention the integration of the iUS image data within the navigation system guides the ...

    • Automatic Thrombus Detection in Non-enhanced Computed Tomography Images in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke 

      Löber, Patrick; Stimpel, Bernhard; Syben, Christopher; Maier, Andreas; Ditt, Hendrik; Schramm, Peter; Raczkowski, Boy; Kemmling, André (The Eurographics Association, 2017)
      In case of an ischemic stroke, identifying and removing blood clots is crucial for a successful recovery. We present a novel method to automatically detect vascular occlusion in non-enhanced computed tomography (NECT) ...

    • Bone Fracture and Lesion Assessment using Shape-Adaptive Unfolding 

      Martinke, Hannes; Petry, Christian; Großkopf, Stefan; Suehling, Michael; Soza, Grzegorz; Preim, Bernhard; Mistelbauer, Gabriel (The Eurographics Association, 2017)
      The assessment of rib bone fractures and lesions consists of many images that have to be thoroughly inspected slice-by-slice and rib-by-rib. Existing visualization methods, such as curved planar reformation (CPR), reduce ...

    • CT-Based Navigation Guidance for Liver Tumor Ablation 

      Alpers, Julian; Hansen, Christian; Ringe, Kristina; Rieder, Christian (The Eurographics Association, 2017)
      Image-guided thermal ablation procedures such as microwave ablation (MWA) or radiofrequency ablation (RFA) have become clinically accepted treatment options for liver tumors. The goal of these minimally invasive procedures ...

    • Exploration of Interventricular Septum Motion in Multi-Cycle Cardiac MRI 

      Tautz, Lennart; Hüllebrand, Markus; Steinmetz, Michael; Voit, Dirk; Frahm, Jens; Hennemuth, Anja (The Eurographics Association, 2017)
      Function of the heart, including interventricular septum motion, is influenced by respiration and contraction of the heart muscle. Recent real-time magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can acquire multi-cycle cardiac data, ...

    • A Guided Spatial Transformer Network for Histology Cell Differentiation 

      Aubreville, Marc; Krappmann, Maximilian; Bertram, Christof; Klopfleisch, Robert; Maier, Andreas (The Eurographics Association, 2017)
      Identification and counting of cells and mitotic figures is a standard task in diagnostic histopathology. Due to the large overall cell count on histological slides and the potential sparse prevalence of some relevant cell ...

    • MRI Hip Joint Segmentation: A Locally Bhattacharyya Weighted Hybrid 3D Level Set Approach 

      Pham, Duc Duy; Morariu, Cosmin Adrian; Terheiden, Tobias; Landgraeber, Stefan; Jäger, Marcus; Pauli, Josef (The Eurographics Association, 2017)
      In this paper, we propose a novel hybrid level set approach that locally balances the combined use of both Gradient Vector Flow and region based energy cost function by means of the Bhattacharyya coefficient. The local ...

    • UI-Net: Interactive Artificial Neural Networks for Iterative Image Segmentation Based on a User Model 

      Amrehn, Mario; Gaube, Sven; Unberath, Mathias; Schebesch, Frank; Horz, Tim; Strumia, Maddalena; Steidl, Stefan; Kowarschik, Markus; Maier, Andreas (The Eurographics Association, 2017)
      For complex segmentation tasks, fully automatic systems are inherently limited in their achievable accuracy for extracting relevant objects. Especially in cases where only few data sets need to be processed for a highly ...

    • Visual Navigation Support for Liver Applicator Placement using Interactive Map Displays 

      Hettig, Julian; Mistelbauer, Gabriel; Rieder, Christian; Lawonn, Kai; Hansen, Christian (The Eurographics Association, 2017)
      Navigated placement of an ablation applicator in liver surgery would benefit from an effective intraoperative visualization of delicate 3D anatomical structures. In this paper, we propose an approach that facilitates surgery ...
