Active fibers: matching deformable tract templates to diffusion tensor images.
Reliable quantitative analysis of white matter connectivity in the brain is an open problem in neuroimaging, with common solutions requiring tools for fiber tracking, tractography segmentation and estimation of intersubject correspondence. This paper proposes a novel, template matching approach to the problem. In the proposed method, a deformable fiber-bundle model is aligned directly with the ...
متن کاملSimilarity Measures for Matching Diffusion Tensor Images
In this paper, we discuss matching of diffusion tensor (DT) MRIs of the human brain. Issues concerned with matching and transforming these complex images are discussed. A number of similarity measures are proposed, based on indices derived from the DT, the DT itself and the DT deviatoric. Each measure is used to drive an elastic matching algorithm applied to the task of registration of 3D image...
متن کاملObject Matching Using Deformable Templates
We propose a general object localization and retrieval scheme based on object shape using deformable templates. Prior knowledge of an object shape is described by a prototype template which consists of the representative contour/edges, and a set of probabilistic deformation transformations on the template. A Bayesian scheme, which is based on this prior knowledge and the edge information in the...
متن کاملIntermediate templates guided groupwise registration of diffusion tensor images
Registration of a population of diffusion tensor images (DTIs) is one of the key steps in medical image analysis, and it plays an important role in the statistical analysis of white matter related neurological diseases. However, pairwise registration with respect to a pre-selected template may not give precise results if the selected template deviates significantly from the distribution of imag...
متن کاملEnergy matching based on deformable templates
Snakes, or active contours, have been previously used in computer vision applications to locate and identify objects. However, problems associated with initialization, poor convergence to boundary concavities and high computational complexity, have limited their utility. In this paper, we present a scheme for object localization and classification based on inexact description of the shape. The ...
