GradICON Registration

Congratulations to Lin Tian, Hastings Greer who are presenting their CVPR paper on gradient inverse consistent image registraton (GradICON) this week. GradICON is a new deep-learning-based image registration approach which only weakly regularizes the tranformations via a new gradient inverse consistency loss.

GradICON: Approximate Diffeomorphisms via Gradient Inverse Consistency

We present an approach to learning regular spatial transformations between image pairs in the context of medical image registration. Contrary to optimization-based registration techniques and many modern learning-based methods, we do not directly …

Optimal transport features for morphometric population analysis

Brain pathologies often manifest as partial or complete loss of tissue. The goal of many neuroimaging studies is to capture the location and amount of tissue changes with respect to a clinical variable of interest, such as disease progression. …

Differential Role for hippocampal subfields in Alzheimer’s disease progression revealed with deep learning

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is often considered the precursor of Alzheimer’s disease. However, MCI is associated with substantially variable progression rates, which are not well understood. Attempts to identify the mechanisms that underlie MCI …

Votenet++: Registration Refinement For Multi-Atlas Segmentation

Multi-atlas segmentation (MAS) is a popular image segmen- tation technique for medical images. In this work, we improve the performance of MAS by correcting registration errors be- fore label fusion. Specifically, we use a volumetric displace- ment …

Perfusion Imaging: A Data Assimilation Approach

Perfusion imaging (PI) is clinically used to assess strokes and brain tumors. Commonly used PI approaches based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) measure the effect of a contrast agent moving through blood vessels and …

A Deep Network for Joint Registration and Reconstruction of Images with Pathologies

Registration of images with pathologies is challenging due to tissue appearance changes and missing correspondences caused by the pathologies. Moreover, mass effects as observed for brain tumors may displace tissue, creating larger deformations over …

Anatomical Data Augmentation via Fluid-Based Image Registration

We introduce a fluid-based image augmentation method for medical image analysis. In contrast to existing methods, our framework generates anatomically meaningful images via interpolation from the geodesic subspace underlying given samples. Our …

PIANO: Perfusion Imaging via Advection-Diffusion

Perfusion imaging (PI) is clinically used to assess strokes and brain tumors. Commonly used PI approaches based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) image the effect of a contrast agent moving through blood vessels and into …

Registration of Images with Pathologies

Registration is one of the fundamental tasks in medical image analysis. It is an essential step for many applications to establish spatial correspondences between two images. However, image registration in the presence of pathologies is challenging …
