Outline of Final Research Achievements

We achieved as planned. Semi-automation was achieved while maintaining accuracy with respect to registration and segmentation method in medical image processing. Regarding medical images and micro anatomical information, fusion of thin plate spline method and registration method using brainstem model all achieved sufficient accuracy. We verified the clinically usefulness and precision as surgical simulation for 62 cases ( brain stem cavernous malformation, hemangioblastoma, glioma, cerebral arteriovenous malformation ) with the proposed technique. I evaluated the usability of the development software, and fed back the results to brush up it.
