Automatical Adaption of the Stereotactical Coordinate System in Brain MRI Datasets
نویسندگان
چکیده
Neuroanatomical and neurofunctional studies are often referenced to a high resolution MR brain dataset. To allow intersubject comparisons of cortical structures, one needs to remove the outer hulls of the brain, align the dataset with a coordinate system and introduce a spatial normalization. We describe an image processing chain that combines all these steps in a single, interaction-free procedure.

Alignment of magnetic-resonance brain datasets with the stereotactical coordinate system
Neuroanatomical and neurofunctional studies are often referenced to high-resolution magnetic-resonance brain datasets. For the analysis of the cortical surface, mapping of functional information on to the cortex or visualization, it is necessary to remove the outer surfaces of the brain. For intersubject comparison, it is useful to align the dataset with a coordinate system and introduce a spat...
متن کاملAutomated Detection of Multiple Sclerosis Lesions Using Texture-based Features and a Hybrid Classifier
Background: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is the most frequent non-traumatic neurological disease capable of causing disability in young adults. Detection of MS lesions with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the most common technique. However, manual interpretation of vast amounts of data is often tedious and error-prone. Furthermore, changes in lesions are often subtle and extremely unrepresentati...
متن کاملAutomatic segmentation of glioma tumors from BraTS 2018 challenge dataset using a 2D U-Net network
Background: Glioma is the most common primary brain tumor, and early detection of tumors is important in the treatment planning for the patient. The precise segmentation of the tumor and intratumoral areas on the MRI by a radiologist is the first step in the diagnosis, which, in addition to the consuming time, can also receive different diagnoses from different physicians. The aim of this study...
متن کاملA New Atlas Localization Approach for Subthalamic Nucleus Utilizing Chinese Visible Human Head Datasets
OBJECTIVE To study the possibility of Chinese visible human (CVH) head datasets as brain atlas for locating the subthalamic nucleus (STN) before deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. METHODS Optimal head axial and coronal 3.0T, T2-weighted magnetic resonance images (MRI) of 30 patients were obtained. Cross-sectional head images of four CVH head datasets were chosen to establish an average CVH...
متن کاملBrain MRI Findings in Children with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Background: Patients with leukemia are facing more complications in order to achieve longer survival. We aimed to evaluate the frequency of central nervous system abnormalities (CNS) on MRI of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Methods: Sixty-six children with diagnosis of ALL aged 2-18 years were recruited. Non-contrast sequences of brain MRI in addition to diffusion weighted i...
