Estimating the infiltration / recession of pathologies independent of background deformations

Key Investigators

  • Kitware: Danielle Pace, Stephen Aylward
  • UNC: Marc Niethammer

Objective

  • Image registration of longitudinal neuroimaging data of traumatic brain injury (TBI), with the aim of predicting long term outcome and designing treatment plans.
  • The geometric metamorphosis registration algorithm jointly estimates global background deformations and local pathology changes. This allows injury changes to be analysed without the impact of background motion.
  • Quantification of "infiltrative" versus "displacing" pathology changes may be a clinically-significant biomarker, and is enabled by geometric metamorphosis's separation of total deformation into background and pathology deformations.

Approach, Plan

  • Develop and implement voxel-wise estimates of infiltrating versus displacing pathology growth/contraction.
