Emergence of Groupwise Registration in MR Brain Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Modern medical imaging technologies such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) [1] offer a safe and non-invasive means of performing clinical diagnosis and research, involving human brain development, aging, and disease-induced anomalies. For reliable estimation of disease related microstructural difference, accurate deformable image registration plays a key fundamental role in dealing with confounding intra-subject variability in longitudinal studies and inter-subject variability in crosssectional studies.

Ensemble registration: combining groupwise registration and segmentation
We investigate incorporating structural information from segmentation into a groupwise registration framework. Previous work by Petrovic et al., using MR brain images, showed that using tissue fractions to help construct an intensity reference image gives better results than just using intensity images alone. In their work, a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) was fitted to the 1D intensity histogram...
متن کاملCompensation of brain shift during surgery using non-rigid registration of MR and ultrasound images
Background: Surgery and accurate removal of the brain tumor in the operating room and after opening the scalp is one of the major challenges for neurosurgeons due to the removal of skull pressure and displacement and deformation of the brain tissue. This displacement of the brain changes the location of the tumor relative to the MR image taken preoperatively. Methods: This study, which is done...
متن کاملRegistration of Brain MR Images in Large-Scale Populations
QIAN WANG: Registration of Brain MR Images in Large-Scale Populations. (Under the direction of Dinggang Shen.) Non-rigid image registration is fundamentally important in analyzing large-scale population of medical images, e.g., T1-weighted brain MRI data. Conventional pairwise registration methods involve only two images, as the moving subject image is deformed towards the space of the template...
متن کاملA Unified Information-Theoretic Approach to Groupwise Non-rigid Registration and Model Building
The non-rigid registration of a group of images shares a common feature with building a model of a group of images: a dense, consistent correspondence across the group. Image registration aims to find the correspondence, while modelling requires it. This paper presents the theoretical framework required to unify these two areas, providing a groupwise registration algorithm, where the inherently...
متن کاملHierarchical alignment of breast DCE-MR images by groupwise registration and robust feature matching.
PURPOSE Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) shows high sensitivity in detecting breast cancer. However, its performance could be affected by patient motion during the imaging. To overcome this problem, it is necessary to correct patient motion by deformable registration, before using the DCE-MRI to detect breast cancer. However, deformable registration of DCE-MR image...
