We want to develop new elastic registration methods for brain imaging. The idea is to use optimal transport as the similarity metric underlying the registration procedure. In order to use this technique on 3D manifolds, they must first be warped to the 2D plane using conformal mapping techniques. Additionally, we would like to allow users to be able to specify anatomical landmarks in the form of artificial slits placed in the segmented brain surfaces. During the registration these slits would be forced to register to one another thus guiding the process and producing more accurate results.

Objective: Develop the next generation biomedical computing application platform using NA-MIC kit software technologies developed in Years 1 & 2 of the NA-MIC project.

Progress:

  • Implementation (alpha stage: compile and run) of a base object hierachy with smart pointer, timestamp, factory, tcl wrapping for an independant MRML lib. Allow separation of mrml from vtkmrml, and itkmrml.
  • Developed design and initial implementation of module loading facility.
  • Developed undo/redo facility for MRML data library.

Key Investigators:

  • Isomics: Steve Pieper, Alex Yarmarkovich
  • Kitware: Mathieu Malaterre, Sebastien Barre
  • GE: Bill Lorensen, Jim Miller, Dan Blezek, Xiaodong Tao
