Special issue: BVM 2009 Advances and recent developments in medical image computing

Medical image computing is a rapidly evolving field of research. Based on the German Conference on Medical Image Computing (BVM) 2009, recent contributions in segmentation, registration, analysis, and visualization have been reviewed and selected for this special issue of the International Journal of Computer Assisted Radiology and Surgery. In particular, methods for model-based image segmentation, application and optimization of non-linear image registration algorithms, e.g., for the estimation of 3D motion fields in 4D image data or the modeling of tumor growth, methods for quantitative analysis of follow-up studies as well as new techniques for the visualization of medical images are included in this special issue. Medical image computing has become a key technology in image-based diagnostics and therapy. Software assistance
