Software for the fiber tracking and statistical analysis along the tracts has been implemented. The statistical methods for diffusion tensors are implemented as ITK code as part of the [[NA-MIC/Projects/Diffusion_Image_Analysis/DTI_Software_and_Algorithm_Infrastructure|DTI Software Infrastructure]] project. The methods have been validated on a repeated scan of a healthy individual. This work has been published as a conference paper (MICCAI 2005) and a journal version (MEDIA 2006). Our recent IPMI 2007 paper includes a nonparametric regression method for analyzing data along a fiber tract.

Objective

We are developing methods for deformable image registration with landmark information. The goal is to improve the registration if misaligned areas are found.




Approach, Plan

Our approach for using the landmarks is to manually mark the distinct anatomical features by point landmarks after the automatic registration is done. Matching of landmarks is performed by two different methods. In one the optimization procedure is applied to the cost function containing an intensity-based data term and a landmark term, sum of squares of distances between fixed and moving landmarks. In another, an initial deformation field obtained from automatic registration is corrected by the field built on RBFs around the landmarks.

Our plan for the project week is to first try out <bar>,...

Progress

The code for the two methods of landmark matching has been implemented to our in house open source Plastimatch software. The methods have been validated on synthetic images and on lung CT scans obtained from NBIA data base. Statistical analysis for method validation has been performed on 4D CT scans obtained from http://www.dir-lab.com
