Computer-Aided Comparative Assessment of Inflammatory Lesions in MRI of the Spine in Axial Spondyloarthritis Patients

Detection of inflammatory lesions in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the spine in axial Spondyloarthritis (SpA) patients is a labor-intensive task. Current scoring methods often require an expert reader to visually assess 23 vertebral units (VU) on multiple MRI slices. Furthermore, monitoring of progressive changes consists of a manual...

Image-based rendering of intersecting surfaces for dynamic comparative visualization

Nested or intersecting surfaces are proven techniques for visualizing shape differences between static 3D objects (Weigle and Taylor II, IEEE Visualization, Proceedings, pp. 503–510, 2005). In this paper we present an image-based formulation for these techniques that extends their use to dynamic scenarios, in which surfaces can be manipulated or...
