A Multi - Scale Shape Description Tool for 3 D MR Brain
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have developed a hierarchical multi-scale shape description tool which enables data-driven quantitative and qualitative shape studies of 3D MR brain images with respect to deformations occurring in patients with epilepsy. The grey-matter is examined in a slice-by-slice fashion, capturing global deformation at coarse scales, while detecting ner details at ner levels of image scale. The degree of shape change across scales promises to provide meaningful shape information which might be useful for clinicians in order to nd a correlation between the degree of deformation and the disease status and provides the means to investigate shape changes over longer time studies.

Hierarchical Shape Description of MR Brain Images Based on Active Contour Models and Multi-Scale Differential Invariants
We have developed a novel hierarchical shape description tool, combining two recently developed and powerful techniques in image processing: differential invariants in scale space, and active contour models. We employ this tool for data-driven quantitative shape studies of Magnetic Resonance (MR) images of the brain at multiple scales. Extracting a shape at different levels of scale yields a mu...
متن کاملMultiscale Shape Description of Mr Brain Images Using Active Contour Models
In this paper we present a hierarchical multiscale shape description tool based on active contour models which enables data-driven quantitative and qualitative shape studies of MR brain images at multiple scales. At large scales, global shape properties are extracted from the image, while smaller scale features are suppressed. At lower scales, the detailed shape characteristics become more prom...
متن کاملMulti-Scale Shape Description in Medical Imaging
We have developed a hierarchical tool for shape description in medical imaging, based on the concepts of scale space and active contour models. The scale space representation allows to capture global shape outlines at a high level of scale or low image resolution, while finer scale shape details can be tracked for increasing levels of image resolution or decreasing scales, thus allowing to quan...

متن کاملRobust multi-site MR data processing: iterative optimization of bias correction, tissue classification, and registration
A robust multi-modal tool, for automated registration, bias correction, and tissue classification, has been implemented for large-scale heterogeneous multi-site longitudinal MR data analysis. This work focused on improving the an iterative optimization framework between bias-correction, registration, and tissue classification inspired from previous work. The primary contributions are robustness...
