Description
High In-Plane Resolution (HIPR)
Single channel automatic segmentation of T1 and T2 MRI brain scans into the major tissue classes (gray matter, white matter, csf). The task can be applied to T1 and T2 brain scan showing parts of the skull and neck. The pipeline consist of the following steps:
- Step 1: Perform image inhomogeneity correction of the MRI scan via N4ITKBiasFieldCorrection (Tustison et al 2010)
- Step 2: Register the atlas to the MRI scan via BRAINSFit (Johnson et al 2007)
- Step 3: Compute the intensity distributions for each structure
Compute intensity distribution (mean and variance) for each label by automatically sampling from the MR scan. The sampling for a specific label is constrained to the region that consists of voxels with high probability (top 95%) of being assigned to the label according to the aligned atlas. The alpha parameter for the EMSegmenter has been set to 0.01 to handle the high in-plane resolution of the scans.
- Step 4: Automatically segment the MRI scan into the structures of interest using EM Algorithm (Pohl et al 2007)
Input data
Image Dimension = 512 x 512 x 26
Image Spacing = 0.4688 x 0.4688 x 6
Anatomical Tree
- root
- background (BG)
- air (AIR)
- skull (skull)
- intracranial cavity (ICC)
- white matter (WM)
- grey matter (GM)
- cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
- background (BG)
Atlas
Atlas was generated based on 82 scans and corresponding segmentations provided by Psychiatry Neuroimaging Laboratory, BWH. We registered the scans to a preselected template via Warfield et al. 2001.
Image Dimension = 256 x 256 x 124
Image Spacing = 0.9375 x 0.9375 x 1.5
