On anatomical MRI scans, to quantitatively analyze the cortical thickness, white matter changes, we need to have a good segmentation on TBI images. However, for TBI data, standard automated image analysis methods are not robust with respect to the TBI-related changes in image contrast, changes in brain shape, cranial fractures, white matter fiber alterations, and other signatures of head injury.

ABC (Atlas-Based Classification) is a fully automatic segmentation method developed in Utah. It can process arbitrary number of channels/modalities by co-registration, it integrates brain stripping, bias correction and segmentation into one optimization framework. A brain atlas is used as spatial priors for tissue categories. We want to extend ABC to detect pathology categories, with tests on TBI images. In the first step, we want to add user interaction to the ABC framework.

Objective

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs when an external force traumatically injures the brain. TBI is a major cause of death and disability worldwide, especially in children and young adults. TBI affects 1.4 million Americans annually. The UCLA medical school has been working on this topic for years.

On anatomical MRI scans, to quantitatively analyze the cortical thickness, white matter changes, we need to have a good segmentation on TBI images. However, for TBI data, standard automated image analysis methods are not robust with respect to the TBI-related changes in image contrast, changes in brain shape, cranial fractures, white matter fiber alterations, and other signatures of head injury.

We will work on the segmentation of Longitudinal TBI data.

Approach, Plan

Our plan for the project week:

  • Work with collaborators to test the algorithm
