Symmetric diffeomorphic image registration with cross-correlation: evaluating automated labeling of elderly and neurodegenerative brain.
TL;DR: This study indicates that SyN, with cross-correlation, is a reliable method for normalizing and making anatomical measurements in volumetric MRI of patients and at-risk elderly individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI
N4ITK: Improved N3 Bias Correction
Nicholas J. Tustison,Brian B. Avants,Philip A. Cook,Yuanjie Zheng,A Egan,Paul A. Yushkevich,James C. Gee +6 more
TL;DR: A variant of the popular nonparametric nonuniform intensity normalization (N3) algorithm is proposed for bias field correction with the substitution of a recently developed fast and robust B-spline approximation routine and a modified hierarchical optimization scheme for improved bias field Correction over the original N3 algorithm.

TL;DR: The Multimodal Brain Tumor Image Segmentation Benchmark (BRATS) as mentioned in this paper was organized in conjunction with the MICCAI 2012 and 2013 conferences, and twenty state-of-the-art tumor segmentation algorithms were applied to a set of 65 multi-contrast MR scans of low and high grade glioma patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
A reproducible evaluation of ANTs similarity metric performance in brain image registration.
TL;DR: This is the first study to use a consistent transformation framework to provide a reproducible evaluation of the isolated effect of the similarity metric on optimal template construction and brain labeling, and to quantify the similarity of templates derived from different subgroups.

TL;DR: This study is the largest evaluation of nonlinear deformation algorithms applied to brain image registration ever conducted and suggests that the findings are generalizable to new subject populations that are labeled or evaluated using different labeling protocols.
