Abstract Multi-atlas segmentation (MAS), first introduced and popularized by the pioneering
work of Rohlfing, et al.(2004), Klein, et al.(2005), and Heckemann, et al.(2006), is becoming …

Purpose To develop an automated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) parotid segmentation
method to monitor radiation-induced parotid gland changes in patients after head and neck …

Atlas-based automatic segmentation is used in radiotherapy planning to accelerate the
delineation of organs at risk (OARs). Atlas selection has been proposed as a way to improve …

Outcome optimization of hyperthermia tumor treatment in the head and neck requires
accurate hyperthermia treatment planning. Hyperthermia treatment planning is based on …

Energy minimization is of particular interest in medical image analysis. In the past two
decades, a variety of optimization schemes have been developed. In this paper, we present …

Purpose In the multi‐atlas segmentation (MAS) method, a large enough atlas set, which can
cover the complete spectrum of the whole population pattern of the target object will benefit …

Image-based atlas selection has been used for more than two decades as an approach to
improve atlas-based auto-contouring. Most published investigations have shown some level …

L'objectif de cette thèse est de fournir des outils de segmentation automatique basés sur
l'utilisation d'atlas anatomiques. Les algorithmes proposés sont appliqués et évalués dans …

Radiation therapy relies in great extent on delineations of tumour and organs on medical
images. These delineations are essential for the entire treatment. Unfortunately manual …
