Several hypotheses coexist for explaining the rapid development of cortical sulci and it is clear that understanding their variability would improve the comparison of anatomical and functional data across cohorts of subjects. In this article we propose to extend a model of cortical folding based on reaction-diffusion mechanisms. The originality of our approach lies in the fact that the surface on which these mechanisms take place is deformed iteratively and engenders geometric patterns that can be linked to cortical sulci. We show that some statistic properties of our model can reflect the variability of sulcal structures.","PeriodicalId":250523,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging: From Nano to Macro","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114194685","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}

When the number of photons is small, the measurement process is best modeled with a Poisson distribution. The problem addressed in this paper is the estimation of an underlying intensity from photon-limited projections where the intensity admits a sparse or low-complexity representation. This approach is based on recent inroads in sparse reconstruction methods inspired by compressed sensing. However, unlike most recent advances in this area, the optimization formulation we explore uses a penalized negative Poisson loglikelihood objective function with nonnegativity constraints (since Poisson intensities are naturally nonnegative). This paper describes computational methods for solving the nonnegatively constrained sparse Poisson inverse problem. In particular, the proposed approach incorporates sequential separable quadratic approximations to the log-likelihood and computationally efficient partition-based multiscale estimation methods.","PeriodicalId":250523,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging: From Nano to Macro","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121649664","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 algorithm is tested with a quantitative evaluation framework based on manual classification of well-dispersed local maxima and random points on ten axial sections in a scan. The algorithm has been applied to ten low dose CT scans annotated by two observers.

To exploit this obvious but unexploited synergy, this paper presents a 3-level model for simultaneous tracking and locomotion state recognition. Use of this model is shown to result in improved tracking performance compared to previously reported methods.","PeriodicalId":250523,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging: From Nano to Macro","volume":"138 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124322586","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 method consists of two stages that jointly optimize recall and precision. First, we apply model-based microscopy image preconditioning and volumetric segmentation to identify candidate spatiotemporal sub-regions in the input image sequence where mitosis potentially occurred. Then, we apply a learned hidden conditional random field classifier to classify each candidate sequence as mitosis or not. The proposed detection method achieved 95% precision and 85% recall in very challenging image sequences of multipolar-shaped C3H10T1/2 mesenchymal stem cells. The superiority of the method was further demonstrated by comparisons with conditional random field and support vector machine classifiers. Moreover, the proposed method does not depend on empirical parameters, ad hoc image processing, or cell tracking; and can be straightforwardly adapted to different cell types.","PeriodicalId":250523,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging: From Nano to Macro","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126359015","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}

Quantitative validation experiments are carried out using an echocardiography heart phantom. Images are acquired through various intervening layers of soft-tissue and hard-tissue mimicking material. We use images acquired of the phantom with no intervening material as high-quality reference “gold-standard” images, and then investigate the effects of the introduced soft tissue and strongly reflecting boundaries images on image quality. Our compounding method is compared to the original, uncompounded, echocardiography images, and to images compounded using a published phase-based method. In addition we present qualitative results from a volunteer and a patient dataset.

The cortical activity is described using a linear superposition of waves traveling with different speeds. This model improves the quality of the wave detection and still respects the previous approaches, as it integrates several biologically plausible constraints: 1) separability of the sources in terms of cortical location; 2) separability of the waves in terms of propagation speed, and 3) additivity of the depolarizing effects of the waves. Under these assumptions, a traveling component analysis algorithm performs a full separation of the set of waves and recovers the locations of the neural sources. Both features could help to better understand the dynamics of evoked activity in cortical sensory networks.","PeriodicalId":250523,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging: From Nano to Macro","volume":"85 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125681860","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 approach is based on sampling from the posterior distributions of the parameters of the local model of diffusion and transforming them to a common coordinate space using non-rigid registration. These transformed distributions are then combined to form population distributions of the local fibre direction at each voxel from which a large number of samples are drawn to create an atlas. Next a fibre tract atlas is created by performing probabilistic tractography, between 83 anatomical regions of interest, where the resulting tracts represent the most likely trajectory of pathways for the population. The atlas is created for an entire population 171 subjects ranging from 20–90 years. Statistical comparison of FA in the atlas co-ordinate space allows comparison of diffusion properties across the population without bias from differences in the anatomy. We perform permutation testing of FA within tracts propagated from the temporal lobe and demonstrate significant differences between male and female populations.","PeriodicalId":250523,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging: From Nano to Macro","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132461241","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}
