We have proposed a new framework for performing group studies on DW-MRI data sets using the Tubular Surface Model of Mohan et al. We successfully apply this framework to discriminating schizophrenic cases from normal controls, as well as towards visualizing the regions of the Cingulum Bundle that are affected by Schizophrenia.

Diffusion Image Analysis

Tractography Methods

Corpus Callosum Fiber Tractography

The goal of this project is to examine the integrity of fibers in the corpus callosum in patients with schizophrenia and determine whether this is associated with brain activation during memory tasks. More...

Re-Orientation Approach for Segmentation of DW-MRI

This work proposes a methodology to segment tubular fiber bundles from diffusion weighted magnetic resonance images (DW-MRI). Segmentation is simplified by locally reorienting diffusion information based on large-scale fiber bundle geometry. More...

Tubular Surface Segmentation Framework

We have proposed a new model for tubular surfaces that transforms the problem of detecting a surface in 3D space, to detecting a curve in 4D space. Besides allowing us to impose a "soft" tubular shape prior, this also leads to computational efficiency over conventional surface segmentation approaches. More...

Group Study on DW-MRI using the Tubular Surface Model

We have proposed a new framework for performing group studies on DW-MRI data sets using the Tubular Surface Model of Mohan et al. We successfully apply this framework to discriminating schizophrenic cases from normal controls, as well as towards visualizing the regions of the Cingulum Bundle that are affected by Schizophrenia.

Geodesic Tractography Segmentation

In this work, we provide an energy minimization framework which allows one to find fiber tracts and volumetric fiber bundles in brain diffusion-weighted MRI (DW-MRI). More...

Clustering and Quantitative Analysis

Group Analysis of DTI Fiber Tracts

Analysis of populations of diffusion images typically requires time-consuming manual segmentation of structures of interest to obtain correspondance for statistics. This project uses non-rigid registration of DTI images to produce a common coordinate system for hypothesis testing of diffusion properties. More...

Validation

Contrasting Tractography Measures

This project represents a new initiative to build upon a shared vision among Cores 1, 3 and 5 that the field of medical image analysis would be well served by work in the area of validation, calibration and assessment of reliability in DW-MRI image analysis. More...
