Smooth Extrapolation of Unknown Anatomy via Statistical Shape Models

no code implementations23 Sep 2019 Robert Grupp, Hsin-Hong Chiang, Yoshito Otake, Ryan Murphy, Chad Gordon, Mehran Armand, Russell Taylor

The three extrapolation techniques evaluated were: copying and pasting of the surface estimate (non-smooth baseline), a feathering between the patient surface and surface estimate, and an estimate generated via a Thin Plate Spline trained from displacements between the surface estimate and corresponding vertices of the known patient surface.
