Registration of pre-and intra-interventional data is one of the key technologies for image-
guided radiation therapy, radiosurgery, minimally invasive surgery, endoscopy, and …

One of the main challenges for computer-assisted surgery (CAS) is to determine the intra-
operative morphology and motion of soft-tissues. This information is prerequisite to the …

Upon publication almost 15 years ago, the first edition almost instantly became a trusted
reference, setting the stage for the coming decade, in which the explosion in research and …

Despite rapid developments in the research areas of medical imaging, medical image
