title: [Research progresses on deformable model in medical image processing].
abstract: In recent years, image processing technique based on deformable models has been widely used in the field of medical image processing and analysis. This survey demonstrates the principle of two kinds of basic deformable models, i.e. parametric deformable model and geometric deformable model. The design of model in application is also discussed. By incorporating prior knowledge and modeling global properties, several new extensions of basic deformable model are then reviewed. At last, some prospects of possible research are given.
