Abstract:Recent advancements in model checking have demonstrated significant potential across diverse applications, particularly in signal and image analysis. Medical imaging stands out as a critical domain where model checking can be effectively applied to design and evaluate robust frameworks. These frameworks facilitate automatic and semi-automatic delineation of regions of interest within images, aiding in accurate segmentation. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of recent works leveraging spatial logic to develop operators and tools for identifying regions of interest, including tumorous and non-tumorous areas. Additionally, we examine the challenges inherent to spatial model-checking techniques, such as variability in ground truth data and the need for streamlined procedures suitable for routine clinical practice.
