This goal is not fully accounted for in most functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) analysis which usually assumes that all delivered stimuli possibly generate a BOLD response everywhere in the brain although activation is likely to be induced by only some of them in specific brain regions. Generally, criteria are not available to select the relevant conditions or stimulus types (e.g. visual, auditory, etc.) prior to activation detection and the inclusion of irrelevant events may degrade the results, particularly when the Hemodynamic Response Function (HRF) is jointly estimated. To face this issue, we propose an efficient variational procedure that automatically selects the conditions according to the brain activity they elicit. It follows an improved activation detection and local HRF estimation that we illustrate on synthetic and real fMRI data.","PeriodicalId":178011,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 10th International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123627922","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Literature has several successful energy minimization based algorithms which are applied to medical images. However, these algorithms depend on parameters which need to be tuned for a meaningful solution. One of the important parameters is the regularization parameter (λ) which is generally estimated in an ad-hoc manner and is used for the whole data set. In this paper we claim that λ can be learned by local features which hold the regional characteristics of the image. We propose a λ estimation system which is modeled as a multi-class classification scheme. We demonstrate the performance of the approach within graph cut segmentation framework via qualitative results on chest X-rays. Experimental results indicate that predicted parameters produce better segmentation results.","PeriodicalId":178011,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 10th International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging","volume":"273 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123991457","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rather than exploiting the nonlinearity in optics or photo-switchable probes, we use a nonlinear reconstruction algorithm that exploits joint sparsity of fluorescent emission from multiple random illumination. To maximize the resolution improvement owing to the joint sparsity, spatially incoherent speckle illumination is used for conventional epi-fluorescence microscopy setup. Experimental results obtained from a nano-pattern and bio-samples stained with standard fluorescent probes along with the proposed method demonstrate that a resolution of up to 37nm can be achieved.","PeriodicalId":178011,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 10th International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124119421","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such mass-univariate approach ignores subtle spatial interactions. The searchlight method, in contrast, uses a multivariate predictive model in each local neighborhood in brain space-named the searchlight. The classification performance is then reported at the center of the searchlight to build an information map. We extend the searchlight technique to take into account additional voxels that can be considered as a meaningful network; i.e., we define a criterion of multivariate connectivity to identify voxels that are statistically dependent on those in searchlight. We coin the term “connectivity searchlight” for the extended searchlight. Using simulated data, we empirically show improved performance for brain regions with low signal-to-noise ratio and recovery of underlying network structures that would otherwise remain hidden. The proposed methodology is general and can be applied to both functional and structural data. We also demonstrate promising results on a well-known fMRI dataset where images of different categories are presented.","PeriodicalId":178011,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 10th International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126145917","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The increasingly demanded MR imaging suffers from low contrast and signal-to-noise ratio when it comes to bones. To increase the segmentation robustness, a prior model of the structure could guide the segmentation when explicit information is missing or weakly presented. Statistical Shape Models (SSMs) are efficient examples for such application where a set of dense correspondences between the training samples is to be established. The complexity of the anatomy of the scapula's bone is a real challenge at this level. We present an automated SSM construction approach with an adapted initialization to address the correspondences problem. Our approach is atlas-based where landmarks are matched on each sample using rigid and elastic registration. Our innovation stems from the derivation of a robust SSM based on Watershed segmentation which steers the elastic registration at some critical zones.","PeriodicalId":178011,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 10th International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging","volume":"116 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124604789","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The tract-oriented technique aimed at group studies, integrates the usage of multivariate features and outputs a single value of significance indicating tract-specific differences. This is in contrast to voxel based analysis techniques which outputs a significance per voxel basis, and requires multiple comparison correction. We demonstrate our technique by comparing a group of controls with a group of Multiple Sclerosis subjects obtaining significant differences on 11 different fascicle structures.","PeriodicalId":178011,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 10th International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125040550","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a probabilistic model, we adopt a multinomial logistic regression. We use a discriminative random model for the description of the problem; we introduce reject option into the classification problem through association potential, and contextual information through interaction potential.
