Globally Optimal Finsler Active Contours [PDF]
We present a continuous and convex formulation for Finsler active contours using seed regions or utilizing a regional bias term. The utilization of general Finsler metrics instead of Riemannian metrics allows the segmentation boundary to favor appropriate locations (e.g. with strong image discontinuities) and suitable directions (e.g. aligned with dark

Template-Based Active Contours [PDF]
We develop a generalized active contour formalism for image segmentation based on shape templates. The shape template is subjected to a restricted affine transformation (RAT) in order to segment the object of interest. RAT allows for translation, rotation, and scaling, which give a total of five degrees of freedom. The proposed active contour comprises

A method for deforming curves in a given image to a desired position in a second image is introduced in this paper. The algorithm is based on deforming the first image toward the second one via a partial Differential equation, while tracking the deformation of the curves of interest in the first image with an additional, coupled, partial Differential ...

Nonlocal Active Contours [PDF]
This article introduces a novel class of active contour models for image segmentation. It makes use of nonlocal comparisons between pairs of patches within each region to be segmented. The corresponding variational segmentation problem is implemented using a level set formulation that can handle an arbitrary number of regions.

Multigrid Geometric Active Contour Models [PDF]
Geometric active contour models are very popular partial differential equation-based tools in image analysis and computer vision. We present a new multigrid algorithm for the fast evolution of level-set-based geometric active contours and compare it with other established numerical schemes. We overcome the main bottleneck associated with most numerical

Active contours without level sets [PDF]
This paper deals with the problem of segmenting an image with active contours. We explain how recent convexification methods allow now to use active contours without level sets with simple and efficient first order schemes. We recall different algorithms proposed in the literature, and we propose a new variant.

ABSTRACT Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor in early childhood. Its clinical behavior is highly variable, ranging from spontaneous regression to fatal outcome despite intensive treatment. The International Society of Pediatric Oncology Europe Neuroblastoma Group (SIOPEN) Radiology and Nuclear Medicine Specialty Committees ...

ABSTRACT Introduction Adolescent siblings of children with cancer are at elevated risk for psychosocial problems. Unfortunately, various barriers such as limited family time and resources, conflicting schedules, and psychosocial staffing constraints at cancer centers hinder sibling access to support.

Mapping the evolution of mitochondrial complex I through structural variation
Respiratory complex I (CI) is crucial for bioenergetic metabolism in many prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is composed of a conserved set of core subunits and additional accessory subunits that vary depending on the organism. Here, we categorize CI subunits from available structures to map the evolution of CI across eukaryotes. Respiratory complex I (CI)

Organoids in pediatric cancer research
Organoid technology has revolutionized cancer research, yet its application in pediatric oncology remains limited. Recent advances have enabled the development of pediatric tumor organoids, offering new insights into disease biology, treatment response, and interactions with the tumor microenvironment.
