What is an advanced algorithm?

 wherever we use computers, we rely on algorithms: "There are lots of types, but algorithms, explained simply, follow a series of instructions to solve a problem. It's a bit like how a recipe helps you to bake a cake. Instead of having generic flour or a generic oven temperature, the algorithm will try a range of variations to produce the best cake possible from the options and permutations available."

ADVANCED ALGORITHMS FOR 3D MEDICAL IMAGE DATA FUSION IN SPECIFIC MEDICAL PROBLEMS

In the last two decades, image fusion achieved big development and nowadays it plays essential role in many areas of image processing such as computer vision, satellite image analysis and particularly in medical imaging. Image fusion is a technique

extracting new information based on simultaneous image processing from more than only single data. Image registration aiming at spatial alignment of two or more image data sets is considered the basic part of image fusion.In this dissertation thesis, three projects particularly concerning image registration are introduced. All the projects combine image registration techniques with other approaches of image fusion to improve diagnostic outcome in the specific medical problems. It is recommended to read this dissertation in parallel with the partly connected work of Roman Peter who primarily introduces the

specific preprocessing parts of the first and third project.

In frame of the first project, two improved registration cores for digital CT subtraction angiography of lower limbs are presented. Although the data are acquired in a short acquisition time, the movement between and during the scans can cause

geometric distortions, and thus image registration is needed. This project deals with the precise piece-wise flexible registration of pre-contrast and post-contrast phases ensuring reliable extraction of blood vessel tree. The project was solved in cooperation with Philips Medical systems (Netherland) and the DAR (Data, Algorithms and Decision making) center.
