Deformation analysis of brain regions.
The analysis of 2D and 3D deformations applied to structures having non regular geometry is presented. Deformations are studied in order to understand complex dynamic problems coded into image sequences. In particular, methods have been developed suitable to control the reconstruction and the spatial deformation of cerebral structures, in their different aspects of morphometry, isometry and densitometry. Finally, a simulation process of brain deformation caused by a neoplasia in a real relevant clinical case has been performed.
