    摘要: A method for generating a pseudo-computed tomography (CT) image volume includes acquiring a first magnetic resonance (MR) image volume (UTE1) using an ultra-short echo time and acquiring a second MR image volume (UTE2) using a conventional echo time that is longer than the ultra-short echo time. The acquired UTE1 and UTE2 image volumes are normalized. A mask for an anatomical structure featured in the normalized UTE1 and UTE2 image volumes is created and bone regions are segmented from the normalized UTE1 and UTE2 image volumes using the created mask and one or more trained classifiers. A pseudo-CT image is constructed from the normalized UTE1 and UTE2 image volumes, the created mask, and the segmented bone regions.

    摘要: A method for segmenting an anatomical image, including: receiving a patient anatomical image; receiving a baseline anatomical image having pre-segmented labels, wherein the pre-segmented labels identify regions of interest in the baseline anatomical image; aligning the patient anatomical image with the baseline anatomical image to produce a transformation that when applied to the pre-segmented labels roughly identifies regions of interest in the patient anatomical image that correspond to the regions of interest in the baseline anatomical image; and updating the pre-segmented labels, which have been deformed by application of the transformation, with a new transformation that minimizes the likelihood of intensity distributions within the regions of interest of the patient anatomical image to produce a gradient image that better identifies the regions of interest of the patient anatomical image.

    摘要: In a method of aligning images, a first image and a second image are sampled to a plurality of joint feature pairs. A minimum entropic graph is computed using the joint feature pairs. Using a distance measure, the total length of the minimum entropic graph is measured to obtain a dissimilarity measure. The dissimilarity measure is minimized for updating the geometric transformation.
