Project Description
Objective
Atlas selection is used for image segmentation. Normally, a single image is chosen as an atlas and the structures are segmented manually. The segmentation is transferred to patient data using non-linear image registration. However, the choice of single atlas is difficult. We will develop an average atlas using image registration and reconstruction. The average atlas makes the registration to patient data more robust.
Approach, Plan
An average atlas construction using image registration and reconstruction. We plan to construct the average atlas with merged segmentation using real 3D datasets and validate them.
Progress
The algorithms for average atlas construction is finished. We have the datasets.
