Diffusion Tensor Image Registration Using Uncertainty Information
Introduction: Population and longitudinal analyses using Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) data have become feasible over the past decade with advanced sequences and sophisticated mathematical tools. These studies make use of some form of elastic tensor field registration framework to derive a population average brain and the deviation modes. These registration algorithms need to employ a speciali...
متن کاملMetrics for Uncertainty Analysis and Visualization of Diffusion Tensor Images
In this paper, we propose three metrics to quantify the differences between the results of diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging (DT-MRI) fiber tracking algorithms: the area between corresponding fibers of each bundle, the Earth Mover’s Distance (EMD) between two fiber bundle volumes, and the current distance between two fiber bundle volumes. We also discuss an interactive fiber track com...
متن کاملTensor Dissimilarity Based Adaptive Seeding Algorithm for DT-MRI Visualization with Streamtubes
In this paper, we propose an adaptive seeding strategy for visualization of diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging (DT-MRI) data using streamtubes. DT-MRI is a medical imaging modality that captures unique water diffusion properties and fiber orientation information of the imaged tissues. Visualizing DT-MRI data using streamtubes has the advantage that not only the anisotropic nature of th...
متن کاملProbabilistic Shortest Path Tractography in DTI Using Gaussian Process ODE Solvers
Tractography in diffusion tensor imaging estimates connectivity in the brain through observations of local diffusivity. These observations are noisy and of low resolution and, as a consequence, connections cannot be found with high precision. We use probabilistic numerics to estimate connectivity between regions of interest and contribute a Gaussian Process tractography algorithm which allows f...
متن کاملMedinria : Dt-mri Processing and Visualization Software
Major advances in medical imaging raised the need for adapted methods and softwares. The recent emergence of diffusion tensor MRI (DT-MRI) was challenging since data produced by this modality are not simple grey-value images but complex diffusion tensor fields. Tensors are symmetric, positive definite matrices and suffer from a lack of adapted theoretical tools to manipulate them. In this paper...
