	abstract = {A method is proposed to segment digital posterior-anterior chest X-ray images. The segmentation is achieved through the registration of a deformable prior model, describing the anatomical structures of interest, to the X-ray image. The deformation of the model is performed using a deformation grid. A coarse matching of the model is done using anatomical landmarks automatically extracted from the image, and maps of oriented edges are used to guide the deformation process, optimized with a probabilistic genetic algorithm. The method is applied to extract the ribcage and delineate the mediastinum and diaphragms. The segmentation is needed for defining the lungs region, used in computer-aided diagnosis systems. {\textcopyright} Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005.},
