Shape vs. volume: invariant shape descriptors for 3D region of interest characterization in MRI
We propose a new approach for quantifying regions of interest (ROIs) in medical image data. Rotationally invariant shape descriptors (ISDs) were applied to 3D brain regions extrac...

Quantitative analysis of immunofluorescent retinal images
We present a novel method to quantitatively analyze confocal microscope images of retinas. We automatically detect nuclei within the outer nuclear layer (ONL) in a retinal image. ...

Assessing the accuracy of non-rigid registration with and without ground truth
We compare two methods for assessing the performance of groupwise non-rigid registration algorithms. One approach, which has been described previously, utilizes a measure of overl...

A diffusion tensor imaging tractography algorithm based on Navier-Stokes fluid mechanics
We introduce a method for estimating regional connectivity in diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging (DT-MRI) based on a fluid mechanics model. We customize the Navier-Stokes...

3-D tomographic reconstruction of the average propagator from MRI data
The measurement of the 3-D "average propagator", P(r), from diffusion-weighted (DW) NMR or MRI data has been a "holy grail" in materials science and biomedicin...
