Online Reconstruction and Motion Detection in HARDI

چکیده
Introduction: With acquisition protocols such as high angular resolution diffusion imaging, head motion can become an issue. Although the misalignment between diffusion-weighted images (DWIs) can be corrected in a post-processing step [1,2], this might increase partial volume effects, because of the relatively low spatial resolution of DWIs and interpolation in the registration procedure. If able to detect motion online, the scanner technician could be issued a warning and make a decision accordingly. Orientation distribution functions (ODF) [3] can be reconstructed online using a Kalman filter (KF) [4]. We present three contributions related to the problem of online ODF reconstruction and motion detection in HARDI. First, we develop a proper error propagation accounting for the non-linear transform on the diffusion signal. Next, we develop two motion detection algorithms, based on the monitoring of residuals, and compare them using synthetic data.

The di usion orientation distribution function (ODF) can be reconstructed from q-ball imaging (QBI) to map the complex intravoxel structure of water di usion. As acquisition time is particularly large for high angular resolution di usion imaging (HARDI), fast estimation algorithms have recently been proposed, as an on-line feedback on the reconstruction accuracy. Thus the acquisition could be s...

Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is known to be prone to artifacts related to motion originating from subject movement, cardiac pulsation, and breathing, but also to mechanical issues such as table vibrations. Given the necessity for rigorous quality control and motion correction, users are often left to use simple heuristics to select correction schemes, which involves simple qualitative viewi...

Introduction: Motion of the patient during myocardial perfusion SPECT could potentially results in false perfusion defects. The effect of different reconstruction methods on these artifacts is not studied. Clarification of the relation between the extent, severity and duration of motion with the resultant artifacts may be helpful in designing special soft wares for motion correction. This...
متن کاملSpatial-Angular Sparse Coding for HARDI
High angular resolution diffusion imaging (HARDI) can produce better estimates of fiber orientation and richer sets of features for disease classification than diffusion tensor imaging. However, existing HARDI reconstruction algorithms require a large number of gradient directions, making the acquisition time too long to be clinically viable. State-of-the-art compressed sensing methods can redu...

In this paper, a new online robot motion planner is developed for systematically exploring unknown environ¬ments by intelligent mobile robots in real-time applications. The algorithm takes advantage of sensory data to find an obstacle-free start-to-goal path. It does so by online calculation of the Generalized Voronoi Graph (GVG) of the free space, and utilizing a combination of depth-first an...
