Objective

Current software phantoms are quite abstract, quite far from human brain. The goal of the project is to create a software phantom that is human brain like for evaluating tractography algorithms. It will allow for simulating pathology, such as tumors, TBI, lesions.


Approach, Plan

Our approach is composed of different steps:

  • creation of high resolution atlas:
    • 6 young adults scanned at 1.5mm3, 42 directions
    • High resolution DWI atlas
    • Full brain filtered two tensor tractography (Millions of fibers)
  • co-registration of structural atlas with shape space:
    • 100 healthy (20 in each 18-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, and 60+)
    • Isomap vs (PCA + local mean)
  • creation of "random-sample" phantoms in shape space:
    • Pathology simulation here
  • application to fiber geometry in atlas space
  • creation of DWI with different models:
    • Initial model is CHARMED only
