Maximum-likelihood approach to strain imaging using ultrasound
A maximum-likelihood (ML) strategy for strain estimation is presented as a framework for designing and evaluating bioelasticity imaging systems. Concepts from continuum mechanics, signal analysis, and acoustic scattering are combined to develop a mathematical model of the ultrasonic waveforms used to form strain images. The model includes three-dimensional (3-D) object motion described by affin...
متن کاملA Maximum - Likelihood Approach
This paper presents a novel framework, based on maximum likelihood, for training models to recognise simple spatial-motion events, such as those described by the verbs pick up, put down, push, pull, drop, and throw, and classifying novel observations into previously trained classes. The model that we employ does not presuppose prior recognition or tracking of 3D object pose, shape, or identity....
متن کاملGeometric reconstruction using tracked ultrasound strain imaging
The accurate identification of tumor margins during neurosurgery is a primary concern for the surgeon in order to maximize resection of malignant tissue while preserving normal function. The use of preoperative imaging for guidance is standard of care, but tumor margins are not always clear even when contrast agents are used, and so margins are often determined intraoperatively by visual and ta...
متن کاملBayesian approach to maximum likelihood estimation
Suppose that we start with a “prior” probability distribution g(θ) on parameters, which represents our knowledge (such as the frequencies of the 4 different nucleotides in the DNA of a given species) before running an experiment. Next, we run an experiment (e.g., sequencing a particular segment of DNA), and observe an outcome x. Bayes’s rule tells us that P (θ|x) = P (x|θ)g(θ) P (x) . In the ra...
متن کاملGroup Analysis of Functional Imaging Data using Penalized Maximum Likelihood
The value of the penalized maximum likelihood method was recently shown in assessing the test-retest reliability of functional activation (Maitra et al: MRM 2002; 48:6270). We extend this methodology to the analysis of grouped functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data. Specifically we have applied this technique to two functional paradigms, (a) pain paradigm that used a mechanical probe...
