Automatic methods for measuring normalized regional brain volumes from MRI data are a key tool to help in the objective diagnostic and follow-up of many neurological diseases. To estimate such regional brain volumes, the intracranial cavity…
Surface analysis of the cortex is ubiquitous in human neuroimaging with MRI, e.g., for cortical registration, parcellation, or thickness estimation. The convoluted cortical geometry requires isotropic scans (e.g., 1mm MPRAGEs) and good…
Whole brain segmentation from structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a prerequisite for most morphological analyses, but is computationally intense and can therefore delay the availability of image markers after scan acquisition. We…
Fetal brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers exquisite images of the developing brain but is not suitable for anomaly screening. For this ultrasound (US) is employed. While expert sonographers are adept at reading US images, MR…
We investigate a framework for train-free MRI segmentation based on Topological Data Analysis. The pipeline proceeds in three steps, first identifying the whole object to segment via automatic thresholding, then detecting a distinctive…
Deformable templates, or atlases, are images that represent a prototypical anatomy for a population, and are often enhanced with probabilistic anatomical label maps. They are commonly used in medical image analysis for population studies…
The study of neurocognitive tasks requiring accurate localisation of activity often rely on functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging, a widely adopted technique that makes use of a pipeline of data processing modules, each involving a variety…
In brain tumor diagnosis and surgical planning, segmentation of tumor regions and accurate analysis of surrounding normal tissues are necessary for physicians. Pathological variability often renders difficulty to register a well-labeled…
Performing coarse-to-fine abdominal multi-organ segmentation facilitates to extract high-resolution segmentation minimizing the lost of spatial contextual information. However, current coarse-to-refine approaches require a significant…
Purpose: Conventional automated segmentation of the head anatomy in MRI distinguishes different brain and non-brain tissues based on image intensities and prior tissue probability maps (TPM). This works well for normal head anatomies, but…
The volume estimation of brain regions from MRI data is a key problem in many clinical applications, where the acquisition of data at high spatial resolution is desirable. While parallel MRI and constrained image reconstruction algorithms…
While modern imaging technologies such as fMRI have opened exciting new possibilities for studying the brain in vivo, histological sections remain the best way to study the anatomy of the brain at the level of single neurons. The…
Purpose: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) enables non-invasive assessment of brain abnormalities during early life development. Permanent magnet scanners operating in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) facilitate MRI of sick infants,…
Deep learning has shown great promise in the ability to automatically annotate organs in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, for example, of the brain. However, despite advancements in the field, the ability to accurately segment…
Automated sample preparation and electron microscopy enables acquisition of very large image data sets. These technical advances are of special importance to the field of neuroanatomy, as 3D reconstructions of neuronal processes at the nm…
Deep learning models generating structural brain MRIs have the potential to significantly accelerate discovery of neuroscience studies. However, their use has been limited in part by the way their quality is evaluated. Most evaluations of…
Matching MRI brain images between patients or mapping patients' MRI slices to the simulated atlas of a brain is key to the automatic registration of MRI of a brain. The ability to match MRI images would also enable such applications as…
In this study, we proposed and validated a multi-atlas guided 3D fully convolutional network (FCN) ensemble model (M-FCN) for segmenting brain regions of interest (ROIs) from structural magnetic resonance images (MRIs). One major limitation…
The claustrum is a thin gray matter structure in each brain hemisphere, characterized by exceptionally high connectivity with nearly all brain regions. Despite extensive animal studies on its anatomy and function and growing evidence of…
We propose a segmentation framework that uses deep neural networks and introduce two innovations. First, we describe a biophysics-based domain adaptation method. Second, we propose an automatic method to segment white and gray matter, and…
