Home < Initial atlas construction workflowContents
Content
This page describes the current working pipeline of atlas construction for vervet data.
Data
10 vervet subjects (2 subjects possibly have unacceptable image quality), T1 sequence
Workflow / Tools
Workflow step | Description | Tools |
---|---|---|
1. Preparation |
1.1. Select the subject that is best oriented as the template image 1.2. Manually identify the ICC in the template subject. 1.3. Perform intensity calibration for all other subjects to the template. 1.4. 12 DOF registration of each of the subjects to the template. 1.5. Skull-strip each subject using dilated ICC of the template. |
1.1. n/a 1.2. manual in SNAP. 1.3. Slicer Histogram Matching module 1.4. FSL/Flirt 1.5. Slicer Mask, Editor modules (verify the mask encloses actual ICC!) |
2. Atlas construction |
2.1. Use the skullstriped image from Step 1.2 as the template to repeat Step 1.4. 2.2. Perform non-rigid alignment of the subjects affinely registered to the template. 2.3. Compute the atlas as the average. |
2.1 see above 2.2. Diffeomorphic demons 2.3. Some tool in Slicer under development |
3. Probabilistic atlas construction |
3.1. Segment WM/GM/CSF from the averaged template, manually edit to ensure accuracy 3.2. Slightly smooth the segmentations Styner et al. recommend kernel of 0.4 mm variance. |
3.1. Kmeans + manual 3.2. Gaussian smoothing module in Slicer, 0.6 and 0.65 kernel size used for Valentino and Tommy, respectively.
