Biomedical Image Registration: Third International Workshop, WBIR 2006, Utrecht, The Netherlands, July 9-11, 2006, Proceedings(4057 Lecture Notes in Computer Science)

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the Third International Workshop on Biomedical Image Registration. The 20 revised full papers and 18 revised poster papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. The papers cover all areas of biomedical image registration; methods of registration, biomedical applications, and validation of registration.
