Abstract

In the field of medical image analysis, the three-dimensional (3-D) shape representation and modeling of anatomic structures using only a few parameters is an important issue, and can be applied to computer assisted diagnosis, surgical simulations, visualization, and many other medical applications. In this paper, we show that the 3D anatomical structure such as the liver can be represented by a few coefficients of spherical harmonic functions (SPHARM). We also propose to use SPHARM based shape representation for statistical shape modeling. Since the dimension of SPHARM based shape representation vector is much lower than the conventional shape representation using coordinates of surface points, our proposed method can be used for small number of training samples and enhance the computation cost.
