Key Investigators

  • Georgia Tech: Yifei Lou and Patricio Vela
  • Boston University: Allen Tannenbaum
  • UCLA: Andrei Irimia, Micah C. Chambers, Jack Van Horn and Paul M. Vespa

Objective

  • A short version of conference submission.
  • A in-depth discussion on the similarity measures for TBI image registration as a journal submission.
  • Design a registration algorithm that can deal with topological changes for TBI patients.
  • Design metrics to quantify the degree of changes of TBI


Approach, Plan

  • Analyze on different similarity measures, such as mutual information, Bhattacharyya Distance, J-R Divergence and cross correlation etc
  • Compare with some state-of-the-art registration methods, such as FSL, FNIRT, AIR etc
  • Use Dice coefficient as a quantitative metric to measure the quality of registration algorithms


Progress

  • We have tailored a 10-page paper for a conference submission
  • We have discussed a few aspects on how to polish our paper
  • We will submit a journal paper shortly
