To segment cells from the background accurately, we present a pixel classification approach that is independent of cell type or imaging modality. We train a set of Bayesian classifiers from clustered local training image patches. Each Bayesian classifier is an expert to make decision in its specific domain. The decision from the mixture of experts determines how likely a new pixel is a cell pixel. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach on four cell types with diverse morphologies under different microscopy imaging modalities.","PeriodicalId":250523,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging: From Nano to Macro","volume":"37 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":"127748850","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}

Measuring adipose tissue (AT) with traditional means is often unreliable and inaccurate. MRI provides a safe and minimally invasive means to measure AT accurately and segment visceral AT from subcutaneous AT. However, MRI is often corrupted by image artifacts which make manual measurements difficult and time consuming. We present a fully automated method to measure and segment abdominal AT in MRI. Our method uses non-parametric non-uniform intensity normalization (N3) to correct for image artifacts and inhomogeneities, fuzzy c-means to cluster AT regions and active contour models to separate subcutaneous and visceral AT. Our method was able to measure images with severe intensity inhomogeneities and demonstrated agreement with two manual users that was close to the agreement between the manual users.","PeriodicalId":250523,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging: From Nano to Macro","volume":"13 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":"133278747","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}

Here, we predict functional connectivity from structural connectivity, explicitly, by utilizing a predictive model based on PCA and CCA.

Imaging prostate cancer with multispectral magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has shown a superior performance when compared to classical imaging modality transrectal ultrasound (TRUS). An important component of multispectral MRI is dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE MRI). However, parametric images based on DCE MRI suffer from low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). In this study, we propose a kinetic parametric imaging method with DCE MRI to overcome this problem using spatial regularization for improved prostate cancer localization. We demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms pixel-wise parametric imaging method, and that the performance of resulting tumor localization has a considerable improvement. Both visual and quantitative evaluations based on a task-based approach focused on tumor localization are provided.","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":"131995482","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}
