Shape- and Atlas-Based Segmentation

The goal of this project is to augment the segmentation process with prior information on the shape of the anatomical structures (shape atlas) learned from previously segmented scans (using, for example, Principal Component Analysis). We are working on methods that integrate the shape atlases with segmentation algorithms.

Tissue Classification

This type of algorithms assigns a tissue type to each voxel in the volume. Incorporating prior shape information biases the label assignment towards contiguous regions that are consistent with the shape model. More...

Boundary Localization

This class of algorithms explicitly manipulates the representation of the object boundary to fit the strong gradients in the image, indicative of the object outline. Bias in the boundary evolution towards the likely shapes improves the robustness of the segmentation results when the intensity information alone is insufficient for boundary detection. More...

Registration Regularization

We are interested in the effects of registration regularization on segmentation accuracy in joint registration-segmentation. More...

DTI Analysis and Visualization

Our work in DTI analysis focuses on identifying new ways to provide an interpretation of the white matter connectivity and to utilize the information contained in the DTI images to create more comperehsive models of the brain architecture.

DTI Fiber Clustering/Atlas Creation/Analysis

The goal of this project is to provide structural description of the white matter architecture as a partition into coherent fiber bundles and clusters, and to use these bundles for quantitative measurement. More...
