Project Description
Objective
- Find, construct and validate tools to investigate the presence and location of the epileptogenic focus through analysis of: cortical thickness, texture patterns.
- Investigates image registration as computational tool to compare pre and post MRI in epilepsy surgery.
Approach, Plan
- Structure and tissue segmentation of cortex.
- Cortical thickness evaluation, grey matter texture analysis.
- Pre and post surgical MRI registration, localization of resection.
Progress
- Gray matter segmentation using expectation-maximization (EMS) algorithm has shown accuracy and robustness in cortical dysplasia data.
- Started understanding and adapting existing code (ARCTIC) to estimate thickness. (with the help of Clement Vachet and Marcel Prastawa)
- Scripted module for registration between pre- and post-surgical volumes and quadratic difference volume computation to highlight resection. (Almost done, thanks for the help from Jim Miller and Steve Pieper)
