Multi-Modal Image Registration and Atlas Formation

Segmentation of the Pectoral Muscle in Breast MRI Using Atlas-Based Approaches

Pectoral muscle segmentation is an important step in automatic breast image analysis methods and crucial for multi-modal image registration. In breast MRI, accurate delineation of the pectoral is important for volumetric breast density estimation and for pharmacokinetic analysis of dynamic contrast enhancement. In this paper we propose and study the performance of atlas-based segmentation metho...

Optimized co-registration method of Spinal cord MR Neuroimaging data analysis and application for generating multi-parameter maps

Introduction: The purpose of multimodal and co-registration In MR Neuroimaging is to fuse two or more sets images (T1, T2, fMRI, DTI, pMRI, …) for combining the different information into a composite correlated data set in order to visualization, re-alignment and generating transform to functional Matrix. Multimodal registration and motion correction in spinal cord MR Neuroimag...

Multi-class Posterior Atlas Formation via Unbiased Kullback-Leibler Template Estimation

Many medical image analysis problems that involve multimodal images lend themselves to solutions that involve class posterior density function images. This paper presents a method for large deformation exemplar class posterior density template estimation. This method generates a representative anatomical template from an arbitrary number of topologically similar multi-modal image sets using lar...

Multi-Atlas based Segmentation of Multi-Modal Brain Images

Brain image analysis is playing a fundamental role in clinical and population-based epidemiological studies. Several brain disorder studies involve quantitative interpretation of brain scans and particularly require accurate measurement and delineation of tissue volumes in the scans. Automatic segmentation methods have been proposed to provide reliability and accuracy of the labelling as well a...
