Diffeomorphic Image Registration with Cross - Correlation : Evaluating Automated Labeling

نویسنده

چکیده

Avants et al.’s goal in writing this paper is to propose a new deformable registration method and compare it to existing methods using brain MRI data. The method they propose is called symmetric image normalization (SyN). The method is meant to achieve better registration by maximizing cross correlation within the space of diffeomorphic maps, and the authors provide the Euler-Lagrange equations necessary to achieve this. SyN is advantageous in that it guarantees identical results each time the same two images are registered, and it takes advantage of exact inverse transformations guaranteed by diffeomorphisms. This method is most unique by the fact that cross correlation has not been investigated in diffeomorphic registrations. Such a combination allows for the possibility of symmetrizing cross correlation Euler-Lagrange equations. The authors test their method against the elastic method and the ITK implementation of Thirion’s Demons algorithm.

Symmetric diffeomorphic image registration with cross-correlation: Evaluating automated labeling of elderly and neurodegenerative brain

One of the most challenging problems in modern neuroimaging is detailed characterization of neurodegeneration. Quantifying spatial and longitudinal atrophy patterns is an important component of this process. These spatiotemporal signals will aid in discriminating between related diseases, such as frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD), which manifest themselves in the same a...

Semi-automated Basal Ganglia Segmentation Using Large Deformation Diffeomorphic Metric Mapping

This paper investigates the techniques required to produce accurate and reliable segmentations via grayscale image matching. Finding a large deformation, dense, non-rigid transformation from a template image to a target image allows us to map a template segmentation to the target image space, and therefore compute the target image segmentation and labeling. We outline a semi-automated procedure...
