Diffusion tensor imaging: Structural adaptive smoothing
Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) data is characterized by a high noise level. Thus, estimation errors of quantities like anisotropy indices or the main diffusion direction used for fiber tracking are relatively large and may significantly confound the accuracy of DTI in clinical or neuroscience applications. Besides pulse sequence optimization, noise reduction by smoothing the data can be pursued...
متن کاملSpline Smoothing: A Special Case of Diffusion Smoothing
schemes, it provides a uniform theoretical base for some other smoothing methods. It has shown that the elegant Gaussian smoothing (GS) is equivalent to the initial value problem of DS, and the widely-used Repeated Averaging (RA) is a special case of the explicit DS. This paper further proves that Spline smoothing (SS) is a special case of the explicit DS with a "convex corner cling" boundary c...
متن کاملAdaptive IMRT using a multiobjective evolutionary algorithm integrated with a diffusion-invasion model of glioblastoma.
We demonstrate a patient-specific method of adaptive IMRT treatment for glioblastoma using a multiobjective evolutionary algorithm (MOEA). The MOEA generates spatially optimized dose distributions using an iterative dialogue between the MOEA and a mathematical model of tumor cell proliferation, diffusion and response. Dose distributions optimized on a weekly basis using biological metrics have ...
متن کاملError concealment using a diffusion based method
In this paper, we present a novel PDE based error concealment algorithm. We formulate the error concealment problem as a sequential optimization problem with both smoothing and orientation constraints. By introducing the orientation constraint we convert a nonlinear variational problem into a problem that is well posed and which can be solved without iterative operations. A modified orientation...
متن کاملContribution of rotational diffusion to pulsed field gradient diffusion measurements.
NMR diffusion experiments employing pulsed field gradients are well established as sensitive probes of the displacement of individual nuclear spins in a sample. Conventionally such measurements are used as a measure of translational diffusion, but here we demonstrate that under certain conditions rotational motion will contribute very significantly to the experimental data. This situation occur...
