Measuring the Reliability of Geometries in Magnet Resonance Angiography A Reference for Multimodal Image Registration?

چکیده
Magnet Resonance Angiography (MRA) can be used to register MR images of other types (e.g. functional MRI) acquired in the same imaging session as the angiogram since blood vessels are spatially closely confined features. This is only possible if MRA delivers reliable, reproducible images and does not show major random distortions. Therefore, we examine the reliability of MRA over subsequent scanning sessions using an appropriate distance measure on geometric vasculature models obtained from MR angiograms. Additionally we examine the variance between different specimens in order to value the possibility of interspecimen registration.

New Pseudo-CT Generation Approach from Magnetic Resonance Imaging using a Local Texture Descriptor
Background: One of the challenges of PET/MRI combined systems is to derive an attenuation map to correct the PET image. For that, the pseudo-CT image could be used to correct the attenuation. Until now, most existing scientific researches construct this pseudo-CT image using the registration techniques. However, these techniques suffer from the local minima of the non-rigid deformation energy f...
