Measures for Characterizing Directionality Specific Volume Changes in TBM of Brain Growth
نویسندگان
چکیده
Tensor based morphology (TBM) is a powerful approach to analyze local structural changes in brain anatomy. However, conventional scalar TBM methods are unable to present direction-specific analysis of volume changes required to model complex changes such as those during brain growth. In this paper, we describe novel TBM descriptors for studying direction-specific changes in a subject population which can be used in conjunction with scalar TBM to analyze local patterns in directionality of volume change during brain development. We illustrate the use of these methods by studying brain developmental patterns in fetuses. Results show that this approach detects early changes local growth that are related to the early stages of sulcal and gyral formation.

Exploiting Hidden Persistent Structures in Multivariate Tensor-Based Morphometry and Its Application to Detecting White Matter Abnormality in Maltreated Children
We present novel multivariate tensor-based morphometry (TBM) for characterizing white matter abnormalities. Traditionally TBM is used in quantifying tissue volume changes in a massive univariate fashion. At each voxel, the Jacobian determinant obtained from TBM is used as the response variable in a general linear model (GLM) and a test statistic is constructed. However, this obvious approach ca...
متن کاملLocal Volume Change Maps in Nonrigid Registration: When Are Computed Changes Real?
Measures of brain change can be computed from sequential MRI scans, providing valuable information on disease progression. Tensor-based morphometry (TBM) creates maps of these brain changes, visualizing the 3D profile and rates of tissue growth or atrophy. In this paper, we examine the reproducibility and stability of different techniques in TBM. In particular, we compare matching functionals (...

متن کاملBrain Volume Estimation Enhancement by Morphological Image Processing Tools
Background: Volume estimation of brain is important for many neurological applications. It is necessary in measuring brain growth and changes in brain in normal/abnormal patients. Thus, accurate brain volume measurement is very important. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the method of choice for volume quantification due to excellent levels of image resolution and between-tissue contrast. St...
متن کاملTensor-Based Morphometry
Tensor-based morphometry (TBM) is an image analysis technique that measures brain structural differences, cross sectional differences or changes over time in repeat scans, from the gradients of deformation fields that align one image to another. TBM may be applied to cross-sectional MRI data for local volumetric comparisons, based on nonlinearly registering individual brain scans to a common an...
