Bimodal Active Shape Models for Cervical Vertebrae and Spinal Canal Boundary Extraction

Cervical spine pathologies often stem from deformations of the intervertebral discs and spinal canal. This work introduces a computational method for boundary extraction of these structures. The proposed method employs an active shape model (ASM) and is bimodal, in the sense that computed tomography...
