CT Segmentation and 3-D Reconstruction with Morphometric Analysis for Evaluation of Occipital-Cervical Instability in Children

Categories:

Lindsey J. Healy Down syndrome is a common chromosomal disorder that affects 0.15 percent of the total population. Individuals with Down syndrome are prone to spinal instability due to congenital abnormalities in the occipital-cervical (O-C1) joint near the base of the skull. To determine the possible abnormality causing this instability, an image-processing pipeline was created […]

Level-Set Metamorphosis Goes Hollywood

Categories:

Associate Professor Ross Whitaker and Assistant Professor David Breen (Drexel University) have been developing surface modeling techniques based on level sets. These techniques include efficient algorithms for representing level-set surfaces and a new formulation for deforming one 3D object into another (also called 3D morphing). This combination of technologies provides an easy and efficient way […]
