Abdominal Imaging. Computational and Clinical Applications: 5th International Workshop, Held in Conjunction with MICCAI 2013, Nagoya, Japan, September [Paperback]

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Workshop CCAA 2013, held in conjunction with MICCAI 2013, in Nagoya, Japan, in September 2013. The book includes 32 papers which were carefully reviewed and selected from 38 submissions. The topics covered are abdominal atlases, shape analysis and morphology in abdominal structures and organs, detection of anatomical and functional landmarks, dynamic, functional, physiologic, and anatomical abdominal imaging, registration methods for abdominal intra- and inter-patient variability, augmented reality techniques for intervention, clinical applications in radio-frequency ablation, open surgery, and minimally invasive surgery.A Model Development Pipeline for Crohns Disease Severity Assessment from Magnetic Resonance Images.- Spatially Constrained Incoherent Motion (SCIM) Model Improves Quantitative Diffusion-Weighted MRI Analysis of Crohns Disease Patients.- Self Similarity Image Registration based on Reorientation of the Hessian.- Registration of Prone and Supine CT Colonography Datasets with Differing Endoluminal Distension.- Spatial Correspondence between Prone and Supine CT Colonography Images: Creating a Reference Standard.- Registration of Temporally Separated CT Colonography Cases.- A Classification-Enhanced Vote Accumulation Scheme for Detecting Colonic Polyps.- A Novel Computer Aided Detection (CADe) Scheme for Colonic Polyps Based on the Structure Decomposition.- Computer-aided Detection of Colorectal Lesions with Super-Resolution CT Colonography: Pilot Evaluation.- Computer-aided Detection of Non-polypoid Flat Lesions in CT Colonography: Observer Performance Study.- Application of Synthetic Sinogram based Low-Dose CT Simulation and Fold-preserving Electronic Cleansing Technique for CT Colonography.- Iterative Reconstruction for Ultra-Low-Dose Laxative-Free CT Colonography.- Global Colon Geometric Structure Analysis Based on Geodesics and Conformal Flattening.- Improved Colon Navigation flÃj
