Coregistration of PET/MR Brain Images by Multi-Feature Correlation Matching - Biomedical Engineering Conference, 1996., Proceedings of the 1996 Fifteenth Southern

چکیده
Medical images analysis is becoming increasingly important in clinical applications. One of the active resarch areas in medical image analysis is image coregistration which involves information fusion of tomographic diagnostic images obtained from different modalities. We present a novel MRI and PET brain image coregistration technique using binary correlation matching based on multiple image features. A two-feature image is formed by extracting edge and region information from PET and MR images. By unifying the pixel intensities and anatomical information in the PET and MR images, the multi-feature PET and MR images are then cross-correlated to find the minimum mismatch energy which corresponds to best matching transformation. The consistent nature of the misregistration curves and comparative studies show that our matching technique results in a robust and accurate coregistration of MRI and PET images.

MR Brain Image Analysis by Distribution Learning and Relaxation Labeling - Biomedical Engineering Conference, 1996., Proceedings of the 1996 Fifteenth Southern
This paper addresses the quantification and segmentation in brain tissue analysis by using MR brain scan. It is shown that this problem can be solved by distribution learning and relaxation labeling, an efficient method that may be particularly useful in quantifying and segmenting abnormal brain cases where the distribution of each tissue type may heavily overlap. The new technique utilizes sui...
متن کاملAccuracy of coregistration of single-photon emission CT with MR via a brain surface matching technique.
We describe a technique of brain surface matching of single-photon emission CT and MR images in human subjects and document the accuracy of this technique with the use of fiduciary markers. This mismatch averaged 4.3 mm as measured by the fiduciary markers and 2.1 mm as measured by the root mean square distance.

Background: Brain tissue segmentation for delineation of 3D anatomical structures from magnetic resonance (MR) images can be used for neuro-degenerative disorders, characterizing morphological differences between subjects based on volumetric analysis of gray matter (GM), white matter (WM) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), but only if the obtained segmentation results are correct. Due to image arti...
متن کاملMRI and PET coregistration--a cross validation of statistical parametric mapping and automated image registration.
Coregistration of functional PET and T1-weighted MR images is a necessary step for combining functional information from PET images with anatomical information in MR images. Several coregistration algorithms have been published and are used in functional brain imaging studies. In this paper, we present a comparison and cross validation of the two most widely used coregistration routines (Fristo...
