by comparing the mid-sagittal section from the Paxinos atlas and corresponding DEC map from the shrinkagecorrected CT-DTI atlas. Crosshairs mark the location of the bregma. Scale is in units of mm. Fig. 1: The shrinkage-corrected CT-DTI atlas. A) Section from the population-averaged in vivo T2-w template of adult C57BL/6J brain. B) AVM map of the section in A. C) Shrinkage-distortion corrected ex vivo DTI atlas in stereotaxic coordinates. Top) a T2-w brain sagittal section with the averaged CT images of 5 bregma-aligned skulls overlaid, and Bottom) DEC coronal sections. Crosshairs denote the location of the bregma landmark, all coordinates are specified with respect to bregma as the origin.

Multidimensional MRI-CT atlas of the naked mole-rat brain (Heterocephalus glaber)
Naked mole-rats have a variety of distinctive features such as the organization of a hierarchical society (known as eusociality), extraordinary longevity, and cancer resistance; thus, it would be worthwhile investigating these animals in detail. One important task is the preparation of a brain atlas database that provide comprehensive information containing multidimensional data with various im...
متن کاملAn MRI-based atlas and database of the developing mouse brain
The advent of mammalian gene engineering and genetically modified mouse models has led to renewed interest in developing resources for referencing and quantitative analysis of mouse brain anatomy. In this study, we used diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) for quantitative characterization of anatomical phenotypes in the developing mouse brain. As an anatomical reference for neuroscience research usi...
متن کاملDevelopment of a high resolution three-dimensional surgical atlas of the murine head for strains 129S1/SvImJ and C57Bl/6J using magnetic resonance imaging and micro-computed tomography.
The mouse has emerged as a major experimental model system for examining the functional properties of the mammalian CNS; both during development and following CNS injury. Histologic procedures currently used to determine the relative position of structures within the CNS are presently limited in their ability to take full advantage of this system for surgical and morphometric procedures. We pre...
متن کاملComparison of state-of-the-art atlas-based bone segmentation approaches from brain MR images for MR-only radiation planning and PET/MR attenuation correction
Introduction: Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging has emerged as a valuable tool in radiation treatment (RT) planning as well as Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging owing to its superior soft-tissue contrast. Due to the fact that there is no direct transformation from voxel intensity in MR images into electron density, itchr('39')s crucial to generate a pseudo-CT (Computed Tomography) image ...

Introduction: Nowadays, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in combination with computed-tomography (CT) is increasingly being used in radiation therapy planning. MR and CT images are applied to determine the target volume and calculate dose distribution, respectively. Since the use of these two imaging modalities causes registration uncertainty and increases department w...
