IntroductionSubcortical Structures (BG) • Neurodegenerative diseases, such asAlzheimer and Parkinson. • Early detection requires thorough understanding of the chemical and anatomical changes in the brain. • Automatic segmentation methods to detect changes • Determine shape abnormalities and help radiologists to find out the functionals of different organs in neurological diseases VPA
Challenging Problems Shape & Topological Complexity, Low Contrast • Low Contrast • Very similar intensity values for different tissues • Very closed positions of organs. • Multi pieced structured organs. VPA 5
Database ASM – Siemens (Avanto) • T2 and PD sequence, dicom. • 18 normal patient • 1. 5 T • 512 x 448 dimension • 3 mm slice thickness • T1 sequence, dicom • 3 Patient • 1. 5 T • 512 x 448, dim. • 1 mm slice thickness VPA

Segmentation IssueOur Task • Use of curve evolution based segmentation methods • Region Based (Chan & Vese) • The use of shape priors • Embedding non parametric joint shape model into segmentation process. • The use of information, obtained from spatial position relation within the organs. • Embedding relative pose prior information of neighboring structures.
