Since the manual delineation of anatomical structures is time-consuming and irreproducible, a number of automatic segmentation methods have been proposed, such as multi-atlas patch-based label fusion methods. However, the hippocampus during the first year of life undergoes dynamic appearance, tissue contrast and structural changes, which pose substantial challenges to the existing label fusion methods. In addition, most of the existing label fusion methods generally segment target images at each time-point independently, which is likely to result in inconsistent hippocampus segmentation results along different time-points. In this paper, we treat a longitudinal image sequence as a whole, and propose a spatial-temporal hypergraph based model to jointly segment infant hippocampi from all time-points. Specifically, in building the spatial-temporal hypergraph, (1) the atlas-to-target relationship and (2) the spatial/temporal neighborhood information within the target image sequence are encoded as two categories of hyperedges. Then, the infant hippocampus segmentation from the whole image sequence is formulated as a semi-supervised label propagation model using the proposed hypergraph. We evaluate our method in segmenting infant hippocampi from T1-weighted brain MR images acquired at the age of 2 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 12 months. Experimental results demonstrate that, by leveraging spatial-temporal information, our method achieves better performance in both segmentation accuracy and consistency over the state-of-the-art multi-atlas label fusion methods.</p>","PeriodicalId":91784,"journal":{"name":"Patch-based techniques in medical imaging : Second International Workshop, Patch-MI 2016, held in conjunction with MICCAI 2016, Athens, Greece, October 17, 2016 : proceedings.

Due to iron deposition during aging, image contrast in the brainstem is very low in Magnetic Resonance (MR) images. Hence, the ambiguity of patch-wise similarity makes the recently successful multi-atlas patch-based label fusion methods have difficulty to perform as competitive as segmenting cortical and sub-cortical regions from MR images. To address this challenge, we propose a novel multi-atlas brainstem nuclei segmentation method using deep hyper-graph learning. Specifically, we achieve this goal in three-fold. <i>First</i>, we employ hyper-graph to combine the advantage of maintaining spatial coherence from graph-based segmentation approaches and the benefit of harnessing population priors from multi-atlas based framework. <i>Second</i>, besides using low-level image appearance, we also extract high-level context features to measure the complex patch-wise relationship. Since the context features are calculated on a tentatively estimated label probability map, we eventually turn our hyper-graph learning based label propagation into a deep and self-refining model. <i>Third</i>, since anatomical labels on some voxels (usually located in uniform regions) can be identified much more reliably than other voxels (usually located at the boundary between two regions), we allow these reliable voxels to propagate their labels to the nearby difficult-to-label voxels. Such hierarchical strategy makes our proposed label fusion method deep and dynamic. We evaluate our proposed label fusion method in segmenting substantia nigra (SN) and red nucleus (RN) from 3.0 T MR images, where our proposed method achieves significant improvement over the state-of-the-art label fusion methods.</p>","PeriodicalId":91784,"journal":{"name":"Patch-based techniques in medical imaging : Second International Workshop, Patch-MI 2016, held in conjunction with MICCAI 2016, Athens, Greece, October 17, 2016 : proceedings.

Fast acquisition often results in images with sparse slices, severe artifacts, and variable fields of view. Yet, large clinical datasets hold a wealth of clinically relevant information. Despite significant progress in image registration, most algorithms make strong assumptions about the continuity of image data, failing when presented with clinical images that violate these assumptions. In this paper, we demonstrate a non-rigid registration method for aligning such images. The method explicitly models the sparsely available image information to achieve robust registration. We demonstrate the algorithm on clinical images of stroke patients. The proposed method outperforms state of the art registration algorithms and avoids catastrophic failures often caused by these images.
