Accurate Segmentation of Brain MR Images
Accurate segmentation of brain MR images Master of Science Thesis in Biomedical Engineering ANTONIO REYES PORRAS PÉREZ Department of Signals and Systems Division of Biomedical Engineering CHALMERS UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY Göteborg, Sweden, 2010 Report No. EX028/2010 Abstract Full brain segmentation has been of significant interest throughout the years. Recently, many research groups worldwide have been looking into development of patient-specific electromagnetic models for dipole source location in EEG. To obtain this model, accurate segmentation of various tissues and sub-cortical structures is thus required. In this project, the performance of three of the most widely used software packages for brain segmentation has been analyzed: FSL, SPM and FreeSurfer. For the analysis, real images from a patient and a set of phantom images have been used in order to evaluate the performance r of each one of these tools. Keywords: dipole source location, brain, patient-specific model, image segmentation, FSL, SPM, FreeSurfer. Acknowledgements To my advisor, Antony, for his guidance through the project. To my partner, Koushyar, for all the days we have spent in the hospital helping each other. To the staff in Sahlgrenska hospital for their collaboration.

Simultaneous PET/MRI for Connectivity Mapping: Quantitative Methods in Clinical Setting
UNIVERSITY OF PADOVA Department of Information Engineering Ph.D. School on Information Engineering Curriculum: Bioengineering - Cycle: XXX Simultaneous PET/MRI for Connectivity Mapping: Quantitative Methods in Clinical Setting Headmaster of the School: Prof. Andrea NEVIANI Supervisor: Prof. Alessandra BERTOLDO PhD. Candidate: Eng. Erica SILVESTRI 2018 iii University of Padova Abstract Ph.D. School on Information Engineering Simultaneous PET/MRI for Connectivity Mapping: Quantitative Methods in Clinical Setting by Eng. Erica SILVESTRI In recent years, the study of brain connectivity has received growing inter- est from neuroscience field, from a point of view both of analysis of patho- logical condition and of a healthy brain. Hybrid PET/MRI scanners are promising tools to study this complex phenomenon. This thesis presents a general framework for the acquisition and analysis of simultaneous multi- modal PET/MRI imaging data to study brain connectivity in a clinical set- ting. Several aspects are faced ranging from the planning of an acquisition protocol consistent with clinical constraint to the off-line PET image recon- struction, from the selection and implementation of methods for quantifying the acquired data to the development of methodologies to combine the com- plementary informations obtained with the two modalities. The developed analysis framework was applied to two different studies, a first conducted on patients affected by Parkinson’s Disease and dementia, and a second one on high grade gliomas, as proof of concept evaluation that the pipeline can be extended in clinical settings. v Università degli Studi di Padova Sommario Scuola di Dottorato in Ingegneria dell’Informazione Acquisizioni simultanee PET/MR per lo studio della connettività: metodi quantitativi in ambito clinico di Ing. -

Gonzalez, M.D. Co-Author(s): David A. Kasle MSIII Kavita Kothari M.D. SUMMARY: For many drugs, the liver is the principal site of its metabolism. The most important enzyme system of phase I metabolism is the cytochrome P-450 (CYP450). Ritonavir, a protease inhibitor used for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), has been shown to be a potent inhibitor of the (CYP450) 3A and 2D6 isozymes. This inhibition increases the chance for potential drug-drug interactions with compounds that are metabolized by these isoforms. Risperidone, a second generation atypical antipsychotic, is metabolized to a significant extent by the (CYP450) 2D6, and to a lesser extent 3A4. Ritonavir and risperidone can both cause serious, and even life threatening, side effects. An example of one such rare side effect is angioedema which is characterized by edema of the deep dermal and subcutaneous tissues. Here we present three cases of patients residing in a nursing home setting, diagnosed with HIV/AIDS and comorbid psychiatric illness. These patients were all on antiretroviral medications such as ritonavir, and all later presented with varying degrees of edema after long term use of risperidone. We aim to bring to awareness the potential for ritonavir inhibiting the metabolism of risperidone, thus leading to an increased incidence of angioedema in these patients. -
Medical Image Processing Software
Wohlers Report 2018 Medical Image Processing Software Medical image Patient-specific medical devices and anatomical models are almost always produced using radiological imaging data. Medical image processing processing software is used to translate between radiology file formats and various software AM file formats. Theoretically, any volumetric radiological imaging dataset by Andy Christensen could be used to create these devices and models. However, without high- and Nicole Wake quality medical image data, the output from AM can be less than ideal. In this field, the old adage of “garbage in, garbage out” definitely applies. Due to the relative ease of image post-processing, computed tomography (CT) is the usual method for imaging bone structures and contrast- enhanced vasculature. In the dental field and for oral- and maxillofacial surgery, in-office cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) has become popular. Another popular imaging technique that can be used to create anatomical models is magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRI is less useful for bone imaging, but its excellent soft tissue contrast makes it useful for soft tissue structures, solid organs, and cancerous lesions. Computed tomography: CT uses many X-ray projections through a subject to computationally reconstruct a cross-sectional image. As with traditional 2D X-ray imaging, a narrow X-ray beam is directed to pass through the subject and project onto an opposing detector. To create a cross-sectional image, the X-ray source and detector rotate around a stationary subject and acquire images at a number of angles. An image of the cross-section is then computed from these projections in a post-processing step. -

Respiratory Adaptation to Climate in Modern Humans and Upper Palaeolithic Individuals from Sungir and Mladeč Ekaterina Stansfeld1*, Philipp Mitteroecker1, Sergey Y
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Respiratory adaptation to climate in modern humans and Upper Palaeolithic individuals from Sungir and Mladeč Ekaterina Stansfeld1*, Philipp Mitteroecker1, Sergey Y. Vasilyev2, Sergey Vasilyev3 & Lauren N. Butaric4 As our human ancestors migrated into Eurasia, they faced a considerably harsher climate, but the extent to which human cranial morphology has adapted to this climate is still debated. In particular, it remains unclear when such facial adaptations arose in human populations. Here, we explore climate-associated features of face shape in a worldwide modern human sample using 3D geometric morphometrics and a novel application of reduced rank regression. Based on these data, we assess climate adaptations in two crucial Upper Palaeolithic human fossils, Sungir and Mladeč, associated with a boreal-to-temperate climate. We found several aspects of facial shape, especially the relative dimensions of the external nose, internal nose and maxillary sinuses, that are strongly associated with temperature and humidity, even after accounting for autocorrelation due to geographical proximity of populations. For these features, both fossils revealed adaptations to a dry environment, with Sungir being strongly associated with cold temperatures and Mladeč with warm-to-hot temperatures. These results suggest relatively quick adaptative rates of facial morphology in Upper Palaeolithic Europe. Te presence and the nature of climate adaptation in modern humans is a highly debated question, and not much is known about the speed with which these adaptations emerge. Previous studies demonstrated that the facial morphology of recent modern human groups has likely been infuenced by adaptation to cold and dry climates1–9. Although the age and rate of such adaptations have not been assessed, several lines of evidence indicate that early modern humans faced variable and sometimes harsh environments of the Marine Isotope Stage 3 (MIS3) as they settled in Europe 40,000 years BC 10. -
