Abstract :
Summary form only given. Medical image analysis and surgery simulation are young research fields with enormous potential but many unsolved and challenging research problems. The author presents a list of such problems including rigid and non-rigid registration, motion analysis and soft-tissue modeling, and discusses some recent advances and perspectives. The author illustrates current projects involving the research group Epidaure at INRIA
