چکیده
This research was part of the Cyclops-Project1 at the Artificial Intelligence Institute of the University of Kaiserslautern. The aim of the Cyclops-System [VW96] is to provide a software workbench for the development of knowledgebased image understanding applications, particularly in the field of analysis of MRI-images. The Cyclops-System can act as an image-understanding expert system, which directs the process of analysis of specific images, providing image analysis control knowledge and domain-specific (image contents-specific) knowledge.

Robust multiresolution alignment of MRI brain volumes.
An algorithm for the automatic alignment of MRI volumes of the human brain was developed, based on techniques adopted from the computer vision literature for image motion estimation. Most image registration techniques rely on the assumption that corresponding voxels in the two volumes have equal intensity, which is not true for MRI volumes acquired with different coils and/or pulse sequences. I...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) automatic 3-D registration is implemented and validated for small animal image volumes so that the high-resolution anatomical MRI information can be fused with the low spatial resolution of functional PET information for the localization of lesion that is currently in high demand in the study of tumor of cancer (oncology) a...

A new methods to constrain brain MRI(Magnetic Resonance Imaging) registration, and perform experiments evaluating the alignment of manually-traced structures, reduction of intersubject variance, and morph metric results using group wise registration is compared against traditional MRI.In multistructure diffeomorphic registration to brain registration, where a set of initial segmentations is use...
متن کاملCo-registration of high resolution MRI sub-volumes in non-human primates
Dynamic structural and functional remodeling of the Central Nervous System occurs throughout the lifespan of the organism from the molecular to the systems level. MRI offers several advantages to observe this phenomenon: it is noninvasive and non-destructive, the contrast can be tuned to interrogate different tissue properties and imaging resolution can range from cortical columns to whole brai...
متن کاملAutomatic ultrasound-MRI registration for neurosurgery using the 2D and 3D LC2 Metric
To enable image guided neurosurgery, the alignment of pre-interventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and intra-operative ultrasound (US) is commonly required. We present two automatic image registration algorithms using the similarity measure Linear Correlation of Linear Combination (LC(2)) to align either freehand US slices or US volumes with MRI images. Both approaches allow an automatic...
