Quantitative measurements from segmentations of human brain magnetic resonance (MR) images provide important biomarkers for normal aging and disease progression. In this paper, we propose a patch-based tissue classification method from MR images that uses a sparse dictionary learning approach and atlas priors. Training data for the method consists of an atlas MR image, prior information maps depicting...
Fluid Attenuated Inversion Recovery (FLAIR) is a commonly acquired pulse sequence for multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. MS white matter lesions appear hyperintense in FLAIR images and have excellent contrast with the surrounding tissue. Hence, FLAIR images are commonly used in automated lesion segmentation algorithms to easily and quickly delineate the lesions. This expedites the lesion load computation...
This paper proposes a longitudinal intensity normalization algorithm for T1-weighted magnetic resonance images of human brains in the presence of multiple sclerosis lesions, aiming towards stable and consistent longitudinal segmentations. Unlike previous longitudinal segmentation methods, we propose a 4D intensity normalization that can be used as a preprocessing step to any segmentation method. The...
The magnetic resonance contrast of a neuroimaging data set has strong impact on the utility of the data in image analysis tasks, such as registration and segmentation. Lengthy acquisition times often prevent routine acquisition of multiple MR contrast images, and opportunities for detailed analysis using these data would seem to be irrevocably lost. This paper describes an example based approach which...
