Journal ArticleDOI

Computation of a probabilistic statistical shape model in a maximum-a-posteriori framework.

TL;DR: A method to represent a mean shape and a variability model for a training data set based on probabilistic correspondence computed between the observations based on maximum-a-posteriori framework leads to very efficient and closed-form solutions for (almost) all parameters.
Book ChapterDOI

Tracking Medical 3D Data with a Deformable Parametric Model

TL;DR: A new approach to surface tracking applied to 3D medical data with a deformable model based on a parametric model composed of a superquadric fit followed by a Free-Form Deformation that gives a compact representation of a set of points in a 3D image.
Journal ArticleDOI

Parsimonious Approximation of Streamline Trajectories in White Matter Fiber Bundles

TL;DR: An iterative algorithm which approximates independently and simultaneously all the fascicles of the bundle in a fast and accurate way is proposed which drastically reduces the computational burden of the processes where the geometry of the streamlines is considered.
Journal ArticleDOI

An augmented reality system to guide radio-frequency tumour ablation: Research Articles

TL;DR: An augmented reality system for hepatic therapy guidance that superimposes in real-time 3D reconstructions and a virtual model of the needle on external views of a patient and is highly accurate and enables the surgeon to reach a target in less than 1 minute on average.
