Metamorphic Geodesic Regression

We propose a metamorphic geodesic regression approach approximating spatial transformations for image time-series while simultaneously accounting for intensity changes. Such changes occur for example in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies of the …

Spatio-temporal Image Analysis for Longitudinal and Time-Series Image Data - Second International Workshop, STIA 2012, Held in Conjunction with MICCAI 2012, Nice, France, October 1, 2012. Proceedings

Geodesic Regression for Image Time-Series

Registration of image-time series has so far been accomplished (i) by concatenating registrations between image pairs, (ii) by solving a joint estimation problem resulting in piecewise geodesic paths between image pairs, (iii) by kernel based local …

Geometric Metamorphosis

. Standard image registration methods do not account for changes in image appearance. Hence, metamorphosis approaches have been developed which jointly estimate a space deformation and a change in image appearance to construct a spatio-temporal …

Sliding Geometries in Deformable Image Registration

Regularization is used in deformable image registration to encourage plausible displacement fields, and significantly impacts the derived correspondences. Sliding motion, such as that between the lungs and chest wall and between the abdominal organs, …

Appearance Normalization of Histology Slides

This paper presents a method for automatic color and intensity normalization of digitized histology slides stained with two different agents. In comparison to previous approaches, prior information on the stain vectors is used in the estimation …

DTI Longitudinal Atlas Construction as an Average of Growth Models

Existing atlas-building methods for di usion-tensor images are not designed for longitudinal data. This paper proposes a novel longitudinal atlas-building framework explicitly accounting for temporal dependencies of longitudinal MRI data. …

Prediction-driven Respiratory Motion Atlas Formation for 4D Image-guided Radiation Therapy in Lung

Respiratory motion challenges lung radiation therapy with uncertainties of the location of important anatomical structures in the thorax. To capture the trajectory of the motion, dense image matching methods and learning-based motion prediction …

Robust model-based transformation and averaging of diffusion weighted images - applied to diffusion weighted atlas construction

This paper describes a method for model-based averaging of sets of diffusion weighted magnetic resonance images (DW-MRI) under space transformations (resulting for example from registration methods). A robust weighted least squares method is …

Tubular Surface Evolution for Segmentation of the Cingulum Bundle from DW-MRI

This work provides a framework for modeling and extracting the Cingulum Bundle (CB) from Diffusion-Weighted Imagery (DW-MRI) of the brain. The CB is a tube-like structure in the brain that is of potentially of tremendous importance to clinicians …
