Extension Description

AnomalousDiffusionExtension-logo.png

Anomalous diffusion processes (ADP) are mathematically denoted by a power law in the Fokker-Planck equation, leading to the generalized form. There are several generalizations of the Fokker-Plank equation, which should give many different partial differential equations (PDEs). Here we adopted the so-called porous media equation, allowing the super-diffusive and the sub-diffusive processes [1]. In porous media, channels are created promoting or blocking the flow of the density function, which has been proved to provide a suitable application for MRI noise attenuation [2].

Basically, there are two different filters already implementing the anomalous diffusion process: the isotropic anomalous diffusion and anisotropic anomalous diffusion filters [3]. These filters were already applied on different imaging MR modalities, such as structural T1 and T2 images [4], diffusion-weighted images (DWI and DTI)[5][6], MRI relaxation T1 and T2 relaxometry[7] and to fMRI[8] as an initial study.

Modules

  • Structural image denoising with tissues border preservation function: AAD Image Filter
  • Structural image denoising without tissues border preservation function: IAD Image Filter
  • Diffusion-weighted MR image denoising with tissues border preservation: AAD on DWI Image
  • Echo-planar imaging denoising with tissues border preservation (fMRI and ASL): AAD on EPI Image

Use Cases

Most frequently used for these scenarios:

  • Use Case 1: Noise reduction as a pre-processing step for tissue segmentation
    • When dealing with single voxel classification schemes, a noise reduction pre-processing step is usually helpful to reduce data fluctuation due to acquisition artifacts (e.g. reducing the number of misclassified voxels).
  • Use Case 2: Volume rendering
    • Noise reduction will result in nicer looking volume renderings
  • Use Case 3: Noise reduction as part of image processing pipeline
    • Could offer a better segmentation and classification on specific brain image analysis such as in Multiple Sclerosis lesion segmentation
