An Active Contour-based Atlas Registration Model for Automatic Subthalamic Nucleus Targeting on MRI: Method and Validation

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Xavier Bresson, Valérie Duay, Francisco Javier Sanchez Castro

This paper presents a new non parametric atlas registration framework, derived from the optical flow model and the active contour theory, applied to automatic subthalamic nucleus (STN) targeting in deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. In a previous work, ...

Nonrigid medical image registration : algorithms, validation and applications

Francisco Javier Sanchez Castro

Over the last two decades medical image processing has become a fundamental tool in medicine, and brain imaging is a paradigm thereof. The fast development of the imaging acquisition techniques allows medical staff to dispose of a variety of data coming fr ...

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 ...

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) ...
