Mapping image data to stereotaxic spaces: applications to brain mapping.

نویسنده

  • C Davatzikos
چکیده

A methodology for spatial normalization of image data is presented. This methodology is based on a map between homologous features of an individual brain and the target brain, which is used to drive a three-dimensional elastic warping transformation. Functional or structural information present in the original, nonnormalized images is preserved during this transformation. In particular, information such as the volume or the total amount of a radioactive agent in any brain region can be calculated directly from the normalized images. Moreover, subtle morphological characteristics of an individual brain are captured by the properties of the spatial transformation applied to that brain. Intersubject or interpopulation comparisons are performed by comparing the corresponding transformations.

Brain mapping in Neurosurgical oncology

After the introduction of MRI, new modalities facilitated the procedure of surgical planning to achieve the microsurgical goal and improve prognosis and quality of life in patients. Despite the variable applications of preoperative and intraoperative mapping and monitoring systems, several limitations and concerns are reported for every modality as well. In this issue of the IrJNS, we are delig...

IRS-1C image data applications for land use/land cover mapping in Zagros region, Case study: Ilam watershed, West of Iran

In land use planning, mapping the present land use / land cover situation is a necessary tool for determining the current condition and for identifying land use trends. In this study, in order to provide a land use/ land cover map for Ilam watershed, the IRS-1C image data from 25th April 2006 were used. Initial qualitative evaluation on data showed no significant radiometric error. Ortho-rectif...

BRAIN MAPPING IN NEUROSURGERY

Background and Aim: Brain mapping is a study of the anatomy and function of the CNS (central nervous system). Brain mapping has many techniques and these techniques are permanently changing and updating. From the beginning, brain mapping was invasive and for brain mapping, electrical stimulation of the exposed brain was needed. However, nowadays brain mapping does not require electrical stimula...

Fixed point theorems for new J-type mappings in modular spaces

In this paper, we introduce $rho$-altering $J$-type mappings in modular spaces. We prove some fixed point theorems for $rho$-altering and $rho$-altering $J$-type mappings in modular spaces. We also furnish illustrative examples to express relationship between these mappings. As a consequence, the results are applied to the existence of solution of an integral equation arising from an ODE ...

On new types of contraction mappings in bipolar metric spaces and applications

Our aim is to present some common fixed point theorems in bipolar metric spaces via certain contractive conditions. Some  examples have been provided to illustrate the effectiveness of new results. At the end, we give two applications dealing with homotopy theory and integral equations.
