3. "Multidimensional classification of hippocampal shape features discriminates Alzheimer's disease and mild cognitive impairment from normal aging", Gerardaine et al.
Long paper, if you are not familiar with SPHARMS, skip page the first half of page 3, but FOCUS on the second half of page 3. From page 4 on, it is optional.

Topic: Ultrasound and SVM FREE but not adviced!
4. "Prostate Cancer Probability maps based on Ultrasound RF times series and SVM cllassifiers" Moradi et al.
Short paper, I expect you to discuss properly ultrasound images

Topic: Differential Geometry and PDEs FREE!
5 ."Temporal Shape Analysis via the Spectral Signature", Debernardis et al.
A lot of information. Focus only on section 2 and 3.
I suggest to read first the slides 1 and 3 on the Laplace-Beltrami operator for shape.

6. "Shape-based Assessment of Vertebral Fracture Risk in Postmenopausal Women Using
Discriminative Shape Alignment", Crimi et al.
Long paper, focus only on section "Methods" page 4 and 5. Read the rest but do not stress to much
