Non-linear Registration of Serial Histological Images of the Middle Ear
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hearing loss is a relatively common disorder. Detailed analyses of the mechanical and acoustical properties of the middle ear have significant clinical implications. The finite-element method is a powerful tool, often used for such analysis. A comprehensive and reliable 3-D finite-element model of the human middle ear can provide a better understanding of the biomechanics of its many interrelated structures.

Feature-Based Non-Rigid Registration of Serial Section Images by Blending Rigid Transformations
In this paper, we describe feature-based nonrigid registration of histological serial section images. Our method represents non-rigid deformation by blending the rigid transformations estimated in the local region around a control point. This approach can efficiently represent nonrigid deformation with a smaller number of control points than conventional methods that interpolate displacement, s...
متن کاملYour dedication goes here Table of Contents Registration of histological serial sectionings
Image registration is a fundamental task in today's medical imaging. In particular for histological serial sectioning, where a three-dimensional object is cut into thin sections for a further microscopic analysis, registration leads to a three dimensional reconstruction of the sections. This reconstruction enables an exploration of the digitized data in any direction, not only in the cutting di...

UNLABELLED Non-echoplanar diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) has established itself as the modality of choice in detecting and localising post-operative middle ear cleft cholesteatoma. Despite its good diagnostic performance, there are recognised pitfalls in its radiological interpretation which both the radiologist and otologist should be aware of. Our article highlights the v...

Background: Medical image interpolation is recently introduced as a helpful tool to obtain further information via initial available images taken by tomography systems. To do this, deformable image registration algorithms are mainly utilized to perform image interpolation using tomography images.Materials and Methods: In this work, 4DCT thoracic images of five real patients provided by DI...
متن کاملDetection of Time-Varying Structures by Large Deformation Diffeomorphic Metric Mapping to Aid Reading of High-Resolution CT Images of the Lung
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the accuracy of advanced non-linear registration of serial lung Computed Tomography (CT) images using Large Deformation Diffeomorphic Metric Mapping (LDDMM). METHODS FIFTEEN CASES OF LUNG CANCER WITH SERIAL LUNG CT IMAGES (INTERVAL: 62.2±26.9 days) were used. After affine transformation, three dimensional, non-linear volume registration was conducted using LDDMM with or...
