Multi-atlas skull-stripping.
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES We present a new method for automatic brain extraction on structural magnetic resonance images, based on a multi-atlas registration framework. MATERIALS AND METHODS Our method addresses fundamental challenges of multi-atlas approaches. To overcome the difficulties arising from the variability of imaging characteristics between studies, we propose a study-specific temp...
متن کاملUnsupervised Skull Stripping in MRI
Whole brain segmentation, referred to as skull stripping, is an important technique in neuroimaging. Many applications, such as presurgical planning, cortical surface reconstruction and brain morphometry, depend on the ability to accurately segment brain from non-brain tissue, i.e. remove extra-cerebral tissue such as skull, sclera, orbital fat, skin, etc. However, despite the clear definition ...
متن کاملSkull stripping using graph cuts
Removal of non-brain tissues, particularly dura, is an important step in enabling accurate measurement of brain structures. Many popular methods rely on iterative surface deformation to fit the brain boundary and tend to leave residual dura. Similar to other approaches, the method proposed here uses intensity thresholding followed by removal of narrow connections to obtain a brain mask. However...
متن کاملImproved Skull Stripping using Graph Cuts
Introduction. Removal of non-brain tissues, particularly dura, is an important step in enabling accurate measurements of brain structures. Previous approaches (2,5,6) can lead to brain loss and/or leave residual dura (4), posing a problem for subsequent cortical thickness estimation. Brain loss cannot be reversed downstream in the segmentation pipeline. Inclusion of dura mater can cause overest...
متن کاملSkull-stripping for Tumor-bearing Brain Images
Skull-stripping separates the skull region of the head from the soft brain tissues. In many cases of brain image analysis, this is an essential preprocessing step in order to improve the final result. This is true for both registration and segmentation tasks. In fact, skull-stripping of magnetic resonance images (MRI) is a well-studied problem with numerous publications in recent years. Many di...
