In radiation therapy (RT) for prostate cancer, changes in patient anatomy during treatment
might lead to inadequate tumor coverage and higher irradiation of healthy tissues in the …

Epidemiology characterizes the influence of causes to disease and health conditions of
defined populations. Cohort studies are population-based studies involving usually large …

Several diagnostic and treatment procedures require the segmentation of anatomical
structures from medical images. However, the automatic model-based methods that are …

Large image deformations pose a challenging problem for the visualization and statistical
analysis of 3D image ensembles which have a multitude of applications in biology and …

Large-scale longitudinal epidemiological studies, such as the Study of Health in Pomerania
(SHIP), investigate thousands of individuals with common characteristics or experiences (a …

In prostate cancer treatment, automatic segmentations of the pelvic organs are often used as
input to radiotherapy planning systems. However, natural anatomical variability of the …

Gaining insight into anatomic co variation helps the understanding of organismic shape
variability in general and is of particular interest for delimiting morphological modules …

In radiation therapy, anatomical changes in the patient might lead to deviations between the
