Bayesian regularization of diffusion tensor images.
Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a powerful tool in the study of the course of nerve fiber bundles in the human brain. Using DTI, the local fiber orientation in each image voxel can be described by a diffusion tensor which is constructed from local measurements of diffusion coefficients along several directions. The measured diffusion coefficients and thereby the diffusion tensors are subject ...
متن کاملImproved fiber tractography with Bayesian tensor regularization.
Diffusion tensor tractography suffers from the effects of noise and partial volume averaging (PVA). For reliable reconstruction of fiber pathways, tracking algorithms that are robust to these artifacts are called for. To meet this need, the present study establishes a novel Bayesian regularization framework for fiber tracking that takes into account the effects of noise and PVA, thereby improvi...
متن کاملDiffusion Tensor Regularization with Constraints Preservation
This paper deals with the problem of regularizing noisy fields of diffusion tensors, considered as symmetric and semi-positive definite n n matrices (as for instance 2D structure tensors or DT-MRI medical images). We first propose a simple anisotropic PDE-based scheme that acts directly on the matrix coefficients and preserve the semipositive constraint thanks to a specific reprojection step. T...
متن کاملDiffusion tensor magnetic resonance image regularization
As multi-dimensional complex data become more common, new regularization schemes tailored to those data are needed. In this paper we present a scheme for regularising diffusion tensor magnetic resonance (DT-MR) data, and more generally multi-dimensional data defined by a direction map and one or several magnitude maps. The scheme is divided in two steps. First, a variational method is proposed ...
متن کاملTensor MRI Regularization via Graph Diffusion
A new method for diffusion tensor (DT) image regularization is presented that relies on heat diffusion on discrete structures. We represent a DT image using a weighted undirected graph, where the weights of the edges are determined from the geometry of the white matter fiber pathways. Diffusion across this weighted graph is captured by the heat equation, and the solution, i.e. the heat kernel, ...
