DT-MRI Images: Estimation, Regularization, and Application
Diffusion-Tensor MRI is a technique allowing the measurement of the water molecule motion in the tissues fibers, by the mean of rendering multiple MRI images under different oriented magnetic fields. This large set of raw data is then further estimated into a volume of diffusion tensors (i.e. 3 × 3 symmetric and positive-definite matrices) that describe through their spectral elements, the diff...
متن کاملRiemannian Graph Diffusion for DT-MRI Regularization
A new method for diffusion tensor MRI (DT-MRI) regularization is presented that relies on graph diffusion. We represent a DT image using a weighted graph, where the weights of edges are functions of the geodesic distances between tensors. Diffusion across this graph with time is captured by the heat-equation, and the solution, i.e. the heat kernel, is found by exponentiating the Laplacian eigen...
متن کاملHomomorphic Filtering of DT-MRI Fields
DT-MRI fields measure the self-diffusion of water in biological tissue and, hence, tensors from these fields must be symmetric positive definite (PSD). However, due to a number of reasons this is not true for real data. Furthermore, it would be desirable to maintain that condition when tensor data are filtered. In this paper, we propose a homomorphic processing cascade that guarantees PSD tenso...
متن کاملVariational Frameworks for DT-MRI Estimation, Regularization and Visualization
We address three crucial issues encountered in DT-MRI (Diffusion Tensor Magnetic Resonance Imaging) : diffusion tensor Estimation, Regularization and fiber bundle Visualization. We first review related algorithms existing in the literature and propose then alternative variational formalisms that lead to new and improved schemes, thanks to the preservation of important tensor constraints (positi...
متن کاملVascular Pattern Recognition Using Clahe and Median Filtering Methods
This paper proposes an improved hand dorsa (back of hand) pattern extraction algorithm for biometric personal authentication applications. The proposed method employs the existing database of near Infrared (IR) images of palm dorsal hand vein surface. The proposed system include: 1) Detection of Region of Interest from input image 2) Hand dorsa vein extraction by Contrast-Limited Adaptive Histo...
