Download or read book Visualization and Volumetric Structures from MR Images of the Brain written by and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pinta is a system for segmentation and visualization of anatomical structures obtained from serial sections reconstructed from magnetic resonance imaging. The system approaches the segmentation problem by assigning each volumetric region to an anatomical structure. This is accomplished by satisfying constraints at the pixel level, slice level, and volumetric level. Each slice is represented by an attributed graph, where nodes correspond to regions and links correspond to the relations between regions. These regions are obtained by grouping pixels based on similarity and proximity. The slice level attributed graphs are then coerced to form a volumetric attributed graph, where volumetric consistency can be verified. The main novelty of our approach is in the use of the volumetric graph to ensure consistency from symbolic representations obtained from individual slices. In this fashion, the system allows errors to be made at the slice level, yet removes them when the volumetric consistency cannot be verified. Once the segmentation is complete, the 3D surfaces of the brain can be constructed and visualized.

Download or read book Three Dimensional Volumetric Modeling of the Internal Brain Structure Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging Slices written by and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 5 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The conventional cross sections of the brain, provided by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners, comprise a sparse dataset of 2-D gray-level images, that is neither capable of representing the 3-D nature of the brain, nor differentiating its various component parts in a convenient way. The target of the developed work is to fuse more information from the original MRI cross sections, which leads to building a 3-D computerized color-coded model of the normal human brain. The proposed model is beneficial in many areas like medical training, radiation treatment, 3-D model matching, or volume mensuration of brain component parts. This paper presents a revision of the different methods for building 3-D brain models, along with their advantages and disadvantages. A proposed method for building a 3-D brain model is then introduced. The method consists of three stages: interpolation of the original MRI slices, segmentation of the different brain tissues, and 3-D volumetric reconstruction. The resultant model can be geometrically transformed and arbitrarily dissected. The results are shown throughout the paper. Finally, the conclusions drawn from this work, as well as possible future extensions of the work, are listed.

Download or read book Decoding Neural Circuit Structure and Function written by Arzu Çelik and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-07-24 with total page 517 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers representative examples from fly and mouse models to illustrate the ongoing success of the synergistic, state-of-the-art strategy, focusing on the ways it enhances our understanding of sensory processing. The authors focus on sensory systems (vision, olfaction), which are particularly powerful models for probing the development, connectivity, and function of neural circuits, to answer this question: How do individual nerve cells functionally cooperate to guide behavioral responses? Two genetically tractable species, mice and flies, together significantly further our understanding of these processes. Current efforts focus on integrating knowledge gained from three interrelated fields of research: (1) understanding how the fates of different cell types are specified during development, (2) revealing the synaptic connections between identified cell types (“connectomics”) using high-resolution three-dimensional circuit anatomy, and (3) causal testing of how iden tified circuit elements contribute to visual perception and behavior.
