∗ Undergraduate Research Participants Abstract Argonne’s ATLAS (Argonne Tandem-Linac Accelerator System) control system comprises two separate database concepts. The first is the distributed real-time database structure provided by the commercial product Vsystem [1]. The second is a more static relational database archiving system designed by ATLAS personnel using Oracle Rdb [2] and Corel Parad...

BACKGROUND The statistical shape atlas is a 3D medical image analysis tool that encodes shape variations between populations. However, efficiency, accuracy and finding the correct correspondence are still unsolved issues during the construction of the atlas. METHODS We developed a two-level-based framework that speeds up the registration process while maintaining accuracy of the atlas. We als...

Atlas selection and label fusion are two major challenges in multi-atlas segmentation. In this paper, we propose a novel deep fusion net for better solving these challenges. Deep fusion net is a deep architecture by concatenating a feature extraction subnet and a non-local patchbased label fusion (NL-PLF) subnet in a single network. This network is trained end-to-end for automatically learning ...

Edmund Beecher Wilson [5] in the US published An Atlas of Fertilization and Karyokinesis of the Ovum (hereafter called An Atlas) in 1895. The book presents photographs by photographer Edward Leaming that capture stages of fertilization [6], the fusion of sperm [7] and egg [8] and early development of sea urchin [9] (Toxopneustes variegatus) ova, or egg [8] cell. Prior to An Atlas, no one photog...

This paper presents initial results of investigating and developing grid-enabled tools for collaborative image processing, visualisation, and database access within the context of the mouse atlas project at the MRC Human Genetics Unit. OGSI compliant grid services for compute intensive task in the mouse atlas have been investigated and a grid service has been developed to implement a grid-enabl...

We propose a new framework to propagate the labels in a heart atlas to the cardiac MRI images for ventricle segmentations based on image registrations. The method employs the anatomical information from the atlas as priors to constrain the initialisation between the atlas and the MRI images using region based registrations. After the initialisation which minimises the possibility of local misal...

Multi-atlas segmentation propagation has evolved quickly in recent years, becoming a state-of-the-art methodology for automatic parcellation of structural images. However, few studies have applied these methods to preclinical research. In this study, we present a fully automatic framework for mouse brain MRI structural parcellation using multi-atlas segmentation propagation. The framework adopt...

We present a high resolving power (λ/∆λ = 90,000) and high signal-to-noise ratio (∼700) spectral atlas of Vega covering the 3850 – 6860 Å wavelength range. The atlas is a result of averaging of spectra recorded with the aid of the echelle spectrograph BOES fed by the 1.8-m telescope at Bohyunsan observatory (Korea). The atlas is provided only in machine-readable form (electronic data file) and ...

STANDARDS There is insufficient evidence to support treatment standards. GUIDELINES There is insufficient evidence to support treatment guidelines. OPTIONS Treatment options in the management of isolated fractures of the atlas are based on the specific atlas fracture type. It is recommended that isolated fractures of the atlas with an intact transverse atlantal ligament be treated with cerv...

In this paper we introduce the ATLAS [Architecture and Tools for Linguistic Analysis Systems] architecture by describing how a proposed annotation task would be modeled using ATLAS concepts. We first present a brief motivation for this work and then move on to describe an example annotation task that will serve as the basis for this paper. Next we model the example task using ATLAS. We describe...
