DESCRIPTION:Medical morphometry is an important area in medical imaging fo
 r disease analysis. Its goal is to systematically analyze anatomical struc
 tures of different subjects\, and to generate diagnostic images to help do
 ctors to visualize abnormalities. Quasiconformal(QC) Teichmuller theory\, 
 which studies the distortions of the deformation patterns between shapes\,
  has become an important tool for this purpose. In practice\, objects are 
 usually represented discretely by triangulation meshes. In this talk\, I w
 ill firstly describe how quasi-conformal geometry can be discretized onto 
 discrete meshes. This gives a discrete analogue of QC geometry on discrete
  meshes which represent anatomical structures. Then\, I will talk about ho
 w computational QC geometry can been applied to practical applications in 
 medical shape analysis.\n
