Rapid MR image acquisition in the presence of background gradients - Trang 725-728
D.C. Noll
Image acquisition in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is based on the application of external gradients to traverse the 2D Fourier domain of the object, known as k-space. This model holds up very well provided the underlying magnetic field is highly homogeneous, however, this is often not the case, particularly for higher field MRI. The constant component of magnetic field inhomogeneity can lead t...... hiện toàn bộ

An accurate segmentation method for white blood cell images - Trang 245-248
Qingmin Liao, Yingying Deng
A part of our research work on an Automated Cell Count project is described. A major requirement for this project is an efficient method to segment cell images. This work presents an accurate segmentation method for an automatic count of white blood cells. First a simple thresholding approach is applied to give initial labels to pixels in the blood cell images. The algorithm is based on priori inf...... hiện toàn bộ

Vascular-targeted imaging using MRI - Trang 809-810
K.C.P. Li, M.D. Bednarski
Target specific MRI poses special opportunities and challenges. Although MRI can provide exquisite morphologic details, its relatively low sensitivity has severely hampered the development of target-specific contrast agents that can provide enough signal alteration to be detectable in vivo. In this review, we will present our data on the development of polymerized vesicles for use in vascular-targ...... hiện toàn bộ

Time-varying sampling functions to improve dynamic magnetic resonance imaging - Trang 721-724
B. Madore
In dynamic MRI, extra information can be obtained by changing the sampling function from time frame to time frame. The method "unaliasing by Fourier-encoding the overlaps using the temporal dimension" (UNFOLD) provides a way to obtain such extra information, and convert it into desirable features (e.g. increase in temporal resolution, artifact suppression). This paper focuses on UNFOLD and its app...... hiện toàn bộ

Kidney segmentation in MRI sequences using temporal dynamics - Trang 98-101
Ying Sun, J.M.F. Moura, Dewen Yang, Qing Ye, Chien Ho
We propose an energy-based image segmentation algorithm that uses the correlation information among pixels in the same image as well as the temporal correlation across the images in the sequence. We focus on MRI sequences that are extremely difficult to segment on the basis of single images. Our method detects motion-free objects whose intensities change across the image sequence. We introduce an ...... hiện toàn bộ

High resolution segmentation of MR images of mouse heart chambers based on a partial-pixel effect and EM algorithm - Trang 257-260
Xujiong Ye, J.A. Noble
In this paper, a high resolution segmentation method for MR images of mouse heart chambers is developed, in which the EM algorithm is adopted and extended to the spatio-temporal cardiac cycle, and a partial pixel effect (PPE) is accommodated so that the heart chambers boundary is detected to sub-pixel accuracy. The method has been tested on high and low spatial resolution images. Quantitative meas...... hiện toàn bộ

Capturing contextual dependencies in medical imagery using hierarchical multi-scale models - Trang 165-168
P. Sajda, C. Spence, L. Parra
In this paper we summarize our results for two classes of hierarchical multi-scale models that exploit contextual information for detection of structure in mammographic imagery. The first model, the hierarchical pyramid neural network (HPNN), is a discriminative model which is capable of integrating information either coarse-to-fine or fine-to-coarse for microcalcification and mass detection.

Flows of diffeomorphisms for multimodal image registration - Trang 753-756
C. Chefd'hotel, G. Hermosillo, O. Faugeras
We present a theoretical and computational framework for nonrigid multimodal registration. We proceed by minimization of statistical similarity criteria (global and local) in a variational framework, and use the corresponding gradients to drive a flow of diffeomorphisms allowing large deformations. This flow is introduced through a new template propagation method, by composition of small displacem...... hiện toàn bộ

Hybrid MR/near infrared imaging of the murine brain: optimization of optical fiber arrangement and use of a-priori knowledge - Trang 74-77
H. Xu, H. Dehghani, B.W. Pogue, K.D. Paulsen, J.F. Dunn
In this work we will present our initial study into the use of hybrid MRI/Near Infrared (NIR) imaging system and the reconstruction algorithm for the murine head. We will show that the arrangement of optical fibers on one side of the head, near the brain, will provide more information about optical changes within the brain. Also, we will show that by the use of a-priori information from MRI and ap...... hiện toàn bộ
