Semi-Supervised Segmentation of Ultrasound Images Based on Patch Representation and Continuous Min Cut

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Olivier Cuisenaire, Xavier Bresson, Nawal Houhou, Anca-Ramona Ciurte

Ultrasound segmentation is a challenging problem due to the inherent speckle and some artifacts like shadows, attenuation and signal dropout. Existing methods need to include strong priors like shape priors or analytical intensity models to succeed in the ...

A Cross Validation Study of Deep Brain Stimulation Targeting: From Experts to Atlas-Based, Segmentation-Based and Automatic Registration Algorithms

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Olivier Cuisenaire, Reto Meuli, Francisco Javier Sanchez Castro

Validation of image registration algorithms is a difficult task and open-ended problem, usually application-dependent. In this paper we focus on deep brain stimulation (DBS) targeting for the treatment of movement disorders like Parkinson's disease and ess ...

Locally Adaptable Mathematical Morphology Using Distance Transformations

Olivier Cuisenaire

We investigate how common binary mathematical morphology operators can be adapted so that the size of the structuring element can vary across the image pixels. We show that when the structuring elements are balls of a metric, locally adaptable erosion and ...

Efficient algorithms for the k-distance transformation

Olivier Cuisenaire

The k-distance transformation (k-DT) computes the k nearest patterns from each location on a discrete regular grid within a D dimensional volume, which Warfield [Patt. Rec. Letters, 17(1996) 713-721] proposed to implement using 2^D raster scans. We investi ...

Validation of Experts Versus Atlas-Based and Automatic Registration Methods for Subthalamic Nucleus Targeting on MRI

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Olivier Cuisenaire, Francisco Javier Sanchez Castro

Objects. In functional stereotactic neurosurgery, one of the cornerstones upon which the success and the operating time depends is an accurate targeting. The subthalamic nucleus (STN) is the usual target involved when applying Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) ...

Comparison and Validation of Tissue Modelization and Statistical Classification Methods in T1-weighted MR Brain Images

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Olivier Cuisenaire, Leila Cammoun, Torsten Butz

This paper presents a validation study on statistical non-supervised brain tissue classification techniques in MR images. Several image models assuming different hypotheses regarding the intensity distribution model, the spatial model and the number of cla ...

Segmentation of Brain Structures in Presence of a Space-Occupying Lesion

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Olivier Cuisenaire

Brain deformations induced by space-occupying lesions may result in unpredictable position and shape of functionally important brain structures. The aim of this study is to propose a method for segmentation of brain structures by deformation of a segmented ...

White matter fiber tract segmentation in DT-MRI using geometric flows

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Patric Hagmann, Reto Meuli, Xavier Bresson, Olivier Cuisenaire, Lisa Jonasson

In this paper, we present a 3D geometric flow designed to segment the main core of fiber tracts in diffusion tensor magnetic resonance images. The fundamental assumption of our fiber segmentation technique is that adjacent voxels in a tract have similar pr ...
