2012 Winter Project Week:TBIRegistration
Key Investigators
- Georgia Tech: Yifei Lou and Patricio Vela
- Boston University: Allen Tannenbaum
- UCLA: Andrei Irimia, Micah C. Chambers, Jack Van Horn and Paul M. Vespa
Objective
- A short version of conference submission.
- A in-depth discussion on the similarity measures for TBI image registration as a journal submission.
- Design a registration algorithm that can deal with topological changes for TBI patients.
- Design metrics to quantify the degree of changes of TBI
Approach, Plan
- Analyze on different similarity measures, such as mutual information, Bhattacharyya Distance, J-R Divergence and cross correlation etc
- Compare with some state-of-the-art registration methods, such as FSL, FNIRT, AIR etc
- Use Dice coefficient as a quantitative metric to measure the quality of registration algorithms
Progress
- We have tailored a 10-page paper for a conference submission
- We have discussed a few aspects on how to polish our paper
- We will submit a journal paper shortly
