Andreas Keil

Welcome!

Since May 2005 I'm a Ph.D. student of Prof. Dr. Nassir Navab at his Chair for Computer Aided Medical Procedures & Augmented Reality at the Computer Science Department, TU Munich. To get an impression of who I am and what I do, you may want to browse the following items on this website:

Research Interests

• 4D reconstruction of coronary vessels in rotational angiography
• Reducing truncation artifacts in cone-beam reconstruction
• Advanced segmentation (level sets, adaptive methods, vessel enhancement)
• MR segmentation for SAR optimization and attenuation correction in PET
