Some theoretical results on tensor elliptical distribution [PDF]
The multilinear normal distribution is a widely used tool in tensor analysis of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Diffusion tensor MRI provides a statistical estimate of a symmetric 2nd-order diffusion tensor, for each voxel within an imaging volume. In this article, tensor elliptical (TE) distribution is introduced as an extension to the multilinear ...

Fourth-Order Anisotropic Diffusion for Inpainting and Image Compression [PDF]
Edge-enhancing diffusion (EED) can reconstruct a close approximation of an original image from a small subset of its pixels. This makes it an attractive foundation for PDE based image compression. In this work, we generalize second-order EED to a fourth-order counterpart.

Diffusion tensor imaging derived metrics in high grade glioma and brain metastasis differentiation [PDF]
Background: Pretreatment differentiation between glioblastoma and metastasis is a frequently encountered dilemma in neurosurgical practice. Distinction is required for precise planning of resection or radiotherapy, and also for defining further ...

Statistical tests for group comparison of manifold-valued data [PDF]
Motivated by population studies of Diffusion Tensor Imaging, the paper investigates the use of mean-based and dispersion-based permutation tests to define and compute the significance of a statistical test for data taking values on nonlinear manifolds.

Background Conventional MRI provides important morphologic information regarding the brain and spinal cord involvement by demyelinating plaques. However, it is of almost no value in assessing the normal-appearing white matter which has been proved by ...

A variational model with fractional-order regularization term arising in registration of diffusion tensor image [PDF]
In this paper, a new variational model with fractional-order regularization term arising in registration of diffusion tensor image(DTI) is presented. Moreover, the existence of its solution is proved to ensure that there is a regular solution for this model.

Recently, several biophysical models and signal representations have been proposed for microstructure imaging based on tensor-valued, or multidimensional, diffusion MRI. The acquisition of the necessary data requires non-conventional pulse sequences, and

A Ray-based Approach for Boundary Estimation of Fiber Bundles Derived from Diffusion Tensor Imaging [PDF]
Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) is a non-invasive imaging technique that allows estimation of the location of white matter tracts in-vivo, based on the measurement of water diffusion properties. For each voxel, a second-order tensor can be calculated by using diffusion-weighted sequences (DWI) that are sensitive to the random motion of water molecules ...
