Computational cardiac anatomy using MRI.
Ventricular geometry and fiber orientation may undergo global or local remodeling in cardiac disease. However, there are as yet no mathematical and computational methods for quantifying variation of geometry and fiber orientation or the nature of their remodeling in disease. Toward this goal, a landmark and image intensity-based large deformation diffeomorphic metric mapping (LDDMM) method to t...
متن کاملReconstructing cetacean brain evolution using computed tomography.
Until recently, there have been relatively few studies of brain mass and morphology in fossil cetaceans (dolphins, whales, and porpoises) because of difficulty accessing the matrix that fills the endocranial cavity of fossil cetacean skulls. As a result, our knowledge about cetacean brain evolution has been quite limited. By applying the noninvasive technique of computed tomography (CT) to visu...
متن کاملComputational anatomy for studying use-dependant brain plasticity
In this article we provide a comprehensive literature review on the in vivo assessment of use-dependant brain structure changes in humans using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computational anatomy. We highlight the recent findings in this field that allow the uncovering of the basic principles behind brain plasticity in light of the existing theoretical models at various scales of observa...
متن کاملBayesian models in computational anatomy, neurodegenerative illnesses and Brain Clouds
I will review several statistical estimation problems which arise in the computational anatomy setting, casting three problems of statistical estimation as examples of parameter estimation in the context of many templates: (i) disease estimation, (ii) segmentation and (iii) template estimation. Then I will discuss one of the central questions in neurodegenerative diseases today, the staging of ...
متن کاملReconstructing anatomy from electro-physiological data
Here we show how it is possible to make estimates of brain structure based on MEG data. We do this by reconstructing functional estimates onto distorted cortical manifolds parameterised in terms of their spherical harmonics. We demonstrate that both empirical and simulated MEG data give rise to consistent and plausible anatomical estimates. Importantly, the estimation of structure from MEG data...
