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}

Segmentation of the membrane protein enables the quantitative assessment of localization for comparative analysis. We introduce a three-step process to (i) regularize the membrane signal through iterative tangential voting, (ii) constrain the location of surface proteins by nuclear features, and (iii) assign membrane proteins to individual cells through an application of multi-phase geodesic level-set. We have validated our method against a dataset of 200 images, and demonstrated that multiphase level set has a superior performance compared to gradient vector flow snake.","PeriodicalId":250523,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging: From Nano to Macro","volume":"18 10","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114067055","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 system enables query of known spectral signatures and clustering of spectral data based on intrinsic properties. As a result, presence and relative concentration of specific chemical bonds can be quantified. The primary contribution of this paper is in representation of raman profile in terms of fluorescence background and multiscale peak detection at each grid point (voxel). Such a representation allows efficient spatial segmentation based on the coupling between high-level salient properties and low-level symbolic representation at each voxel. The high-level salient properties refer to preferred peaks and their attributes for the entire image. The low-level symbolic representations are based on fluorescence background, spectral peak locations, and their attributes. We present results on a corn stover tissue section that is imaged through Raman microscopy, and the results are consistent with the literature. In addition, automatic clustering indicates several distinct layers of the cell walls with different spectral signatures.","PeriodicalId":250523,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging: From Nano to Macro","volume":"61 18","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120934488","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}

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}
