Hello,

A new submission has been added to the MIDAS Journal.

Title: On the Importance of Location and Features for the Patch-Based Segmentation of \
                Parotid Glands
Authors: Wachinger C., Brennan M., Sharp G., Golland P.
Abstract: The segmentation of parotid glands in CT scans of patients with head and \
neck cancer is an essential part of treatment planning. We introduce a new method for \
the automatic segmentation of parotid glands that extends existing patch-based \
approaches in three ways: (1) we promote the use of image features in combination \
with patch intensity values to increase discrimination; (2) we work with larger \
search windows than established methods by using an approximate nearest neighbor \
search; and (3) we demonstrate that location information is a crucial discriminator \
and add it explicitly to the description. In our experiments, we compare a large \
number of features and introduce a new multi-scale descriptor. The best performance \
is achieved with entropy image features in combination with patches and location \
information.
