Abstract

The described invention provides systems and methods for detecting and segmenting a lesion from longitudinal, time series, or multi-parametric imaging by utilizing spectral embedding-based active contour (SEAC). In addition, the described invention further provides systems and methods for registering time series data by utilizing reduced-dimension eigenvectors derived from spectral embedding (SE) of feature scenes (SERg).
