Objective
During the 2011 summer project week, we applied our shape regression framework to sub-cortical shapes from a single HD subject. For this project, we plan to begin processing multiple subjects. We would like to compare the trajectories of various measurements of interest, such as volume, across subjects at different stages of disease progression.
Approach, Plan
- Estimate continuous trajectories for sub-cortical structures for multiple subjects
- Investigate volume changes between subjects at different stages of disease progression
- Explore shape evolution for other potentially significant measurements
Progress
Segmentation
The 5 pairs of sub-cortical structures (caudate, hippocampus, globus, putamen, thalamus) segmentations were provided as binary images. Triangular meshes were extracted using marching cubes, giving us 10 shapes at 3 time points.
Preprocessing
In order to prepare the shapes for longitudinal regression, the different time points must first be rigidly aligned. We do not have point correspondences between our shapes, so we use a Gaussian mixture model based tool called gmmreg to rigidly align the shapes.
We initially align the entire shape complex, rather than individual shapes, in order to preserve the spatial relationship between the anatomical structures. However, there was a small amount of translation and rotation remaining after this process that adversely impacts the growth estimation. To further align the shapes, we also register each shape individually across time.
Regression
Here, we estimate the continuous evolution of all 10 structures as a shape complex. We look for a global deformation which best deforms the baseline shapes to match the target shapes over time. We set the spatial extent at which the deformation varies to 10mm.
