Discrete Mathematical Problems With Medical Applications: Dimacs Workshop Discrete Mathematical Problems With Medical Applications, December 8-10, ... MATHEMATICS AND THEORETICAL COMPUTER SCIENCE)

by Ding-Zhu Du (Editor), Dimacs Workshop Discrete Mathematical Pr

Contains papers from a December 1999 conference, by theoreticians and practitioners working on medical applications of discrete mathematics, with emphasis on optimization and discrete mathematical modeling. Specific topics include a model for learning human vascular anatomy, optimization of gamma knife radiosurgery, sphere packing using morphological analysis, and analysis of magnetic resonance angiography images using skeletonization and distance transforms. Other topics include computing medial surfaces, a mixed variable optimization approach to non-rigid image registration, and the perfectness of tagged probe interval graphs. Lacks a subject index.
