Automated incisional hernia characterization by non-rigid registration of CT images – a pilot study

Incisional hernia repair makes use of prosthetic meshes to re-establish a biomechanically stable abdominal wall. Mesh sizing and fixation have been found to be essential for the clinical outcome. Comparative CT images a) under rest versus b) under Valsalva maneuver (exhalation against closed airways...
