Quantitative Amyloid Imaging Using Image-Derived Arterial Input Function
Amyloid PET imaging is an indispensable tool widely used in the investigation, diagnosis and monitoring of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Currently, a reference region based approach is used as the mainstream quantification technique for amyloid imaging. This approach assumes the reference region is amyloid free and has the same tracer influx and washout kinetics as the regions of interest. However,...
متن کاملA priori information in image segmentation: energy functional based on shape statistical model and image information
In this paper, we propose an energy functional to segment objects whose global shape is a priori known thanks to a statistical model. Our work aims at extending the variational approach of Chen et al. [1] by integrating the statistical shape model of Leventon et al. [2]. The proposed energy functional allows us to capture an object that exhibits high image gradients and a shape compatible with ...
متن کاملCharacterization of the image-derived carotid artery input function using independent component analysis
We previously developed a noninvasive technique for the quantification of fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) images using an image-derived input function obtained from a manually drawn carotid artery region. Here, we investigate the use of independent component analysis (ICA) for more objective identification of the carotid artery and surrounding tissue regions. Using F...
متن کاملStochastic Fuzzy Discrimination Information Measure Cost Function in Image Processing
A new cost function based on stochastic fuzzy discrimination information measure is introduced in this paper. Focusing on their significant parts, this cost function is used to find the optimal value of threshold for denoising image. It is, in fact, an extension of fuzzy entropy cost function by the present author. Multivariable normal distribution is used for creating focus on significant part...
متن کاملFDG-PET Quantification of Lung Inflammation with Image-Derived Blood Input Function in Mice
Dynamic FDG-PET imaging was used to study inflammation in lungs of mice following administration of a virulent strain of Klebsiella (K.) pneumoniae. Net whole-lung FDG influx constant (K(i)) was determined in a compartment model using an image-derived blood input function. Methods. K. pneumoniae (~3 x 10(5) CFU) was intratracheally administered to six mice with 6 other mice serving as controls....
