Rigid Registration of Echoplanar and Conventional Magnetic Resonance Images by Minimizing the Kullback-Leibler Distance: Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging fMRI studies are derived from a time series of Echo-Planar images EPIs. Compared to conventional Magnetic Resonance Images MRIs, EPIs are of relatively poor quality for discerning anatomic features and are often registered with corresponding MRIs to map brain activity to neuroanatomy. In this paper they...; Tags: Harvard College, President, Productivity; White papers 2003-05-25
Multiscale Segmentation of the Aorta in 3D Ultrasound Images: Fast, reliable segmentation of the abdominal aorta from three dimensional ultrasound remains a difficult problem. Standard methods based on local information like thresholding, region growing or active contours fail in separating the arteries from the veins and suffer from the lack of homogeneity of the vessel intensity and from the...; Tags: Segmentation, 3D, President, Harvard College; White papers 2003-05-16
A Unified Statistical and Information Theoretic Framework for Multi-modal Image Registration: This paper formulates and interprets several registration methods in the context of a unified statistical and information theoretic framework. A unified interpretation clarifies the implicit assumptions of each method yielding a better understanding of their relative strengths and weaknesses. Additionally, we discuss a generative statistical model from which we derive...; Tags: Harvard College, President, Interpretation, Analysis; White papers 2003-05-01
Virtual Cystoscopy: Color Mapping of Bladder Wall Thickness: Three-dimensional visualization with virtual endoscopy of the bladder appears to be a promising tool for screening and follow up of cancer. Vining reported a sensitivity of only 23% in detecting tumors smaller then 5mm using virtual cystoscopy. To improve identification of these lesions we developed an algorithm for color mapping...; Tags: Harvard College, President, Engineering, Algorithm; White papers 2003-04-18
Dirk-Alexander Sennst: Annotation of Processed Image Data in Surgical Planning and Its Visualization With a Java3d Based Browser: This paper shows the need for a structured descriptive language that will enable us to bring together multiple sets of volume data, 3D models, anatomical labels or color and transparency information in order to describe the results of surgical planning work that combines multiple sets of data by processing it...; Tags: Java, Programming Languages, Software Development, Software/Web Development, Web Browser, Java3D, Harvard College, President; White papers 2003-04-18
