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.

We extend these approaches to electron microscopy data that are obtained from arbitrary directions.

This platform allows for both the registration of MRI/CT anatomical data to X-ray fluoroscopy and the determination of the catheter positions. EpreMap is a contact mapping system. By using a radial basis function (RBF) based scattered data interpolation algorithm, EpreMap can create a cardiac activation map for a whole chamber starting from five sampling points. The activation map is updated with every new measurement. Offline studies showed that cardiac activation maps created by using EpreMap were highly correlated with the maps created by using a non-contact mapping system. EpreMap was used in three clinical cases. The clinical studies proved the workflow of EpreMap was valid in the clinical environment. For one clinical case, the result of EpreMap was validated against a non-contact mapping system. Clinically significant regions identified by using the two mapping systems were strongly correlated.","PeriodicalId":250523,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging: From Nano to Macro","volume":"171 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":"114765082","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}

Traditional methods detect landmarks one-by-one and separately in two images. Therefore, the detected landmarks might inherit low dis-criminability and are not necessarily good for matching. In contrast, our method detects landmarks pair-by-pair across images, and those pairs are required to be mutually-salient, i.e., uniquely corresponding to each other. The second merit of our framework is that, instead of finding individually optimal correspondence, which is a local approach and could cause self-intersection of the resultant deformation, our framework adopts a Markov-random-field (MRF)-based spatial arrangement to select the globally optimal landmark pairs. In this way, the geometric consistency of the correspondences is maintained and the resultant deformations are relatively smooth and topology-preserving. Promising experimental validation through a radiologist's evaluation of the established correspondences is presented.","PeriodicalId":250523,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging: From Nano to Macro","volume":"49 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":"117313069","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}
