A Probabilistic Framework for Point-Based Shape Modeling in Medical Image Analysis (Aktuelle Forschung Medizintechnik - Latest Research in Medical Engineering)

Heike Hufnagel develops a mathematically sound statistical shape model. Due to the particular attributes of the model, the challenging integration of explicit and implicit representations can be performed in an elegant mathematical formulation, thus combining the advantages of both explicit model and implicit segmentation method.

Heike Hufnagel works as a research scientist at the Institute of Medical Informatics, University of Luebeck, Germany. She holds a PhD in natural sciences.
