Quantitative Statistical Methods for Image Quality Assessment

Quantitative measures of image quality and reliability are critical for both qualitative interpretation and quantitative analysis of medical images. While, in theory, it is possible to analyze reconstructed images by means of Monte Carlo simulations using a large number of noise realizations, the associated computational burden makes this approach impractical. Additionally, this approach is les...

Applications of Statistical Methods in Quantitative Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Magnetic resonance imaging, MRI, offers a wide range of imaging methods that can be employed in the characterization of tumors. MRI is generally used in a qualitative way, where radiologists interpret the images for e.g. diagnosis, follow-ups, or assessment of treatment response. In the past decade, there has been an increased interest in quantitative imaging, which give repeatable measurements...

Statistical Methods for Detecting Expression Quantitative Trait Loci (eQTL)

Treating mRNA transcript abundances as quantitative traits and mapping gene expression quantitative trait loci for these traits has been studied in many species from yeast to humans. There has been significant success in finding associations between gene expression and genetic markers. These eQTL studies have been used to identify candidate causal regulators, to construct gene regulation networ...
