Image segmentation and image correspondence are two key points in any image analysis system. Since most of Image Analysis applications are increasingly making use of several image modalities due to the amount of information they provide and the complementary nature of such modalities, it is necessary to modify some of the existing image segmentation algorithms or image correspondence algorithms in order to obtain effectiveness when applied to other image modalities, or even to generate optimised new algorithms for every specific modality. Examples of such developments will be provided using medical images from hospitals of the Health Area of Girona which have provided MRI images, digital mammographic (X-ray) images, and ecographic (US) images coming from breast cancer and prostate cancer screening programs.
