Neuroimage 2016; 125:479-497. [PMID: 26477650 PMCID: PMC4692519 DOI: 10.1016/j.neuroimage.2015.10.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 47] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2015] [Revised: 10/05/2015] [Accepted: 10/06/2015] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Accurate segmentation of the subcortical structures is frequently required in neuroimaging studies. Most existing methods use only a T1-weighted MRI volume to segment all supported structures and usually rely on a database of training data. We propose a new method that can use multiple image modalities simultaneously and a single reference segmentation for initialisation, without the need for a manually labelled training set. The method models intensity profiles in multiple images around the boundaries of the structure after nonlinear registration. It is trained using a set of unlabelled training data, which may be the same images that are to be segmented, and it can automatically infer the location of the physical boundary using user-specified priors. We show that the method produces high-quality segmentations of the striatum, which is clearly visible on T1-weighted scans, and the globus pallidus, which has poor contrast on such scans. The method compares favourably to existing methods, showing greater overlap with manual segmentations and better consistency.

FreeSurfer-initiated fully-automated subcortical brain segmentation in MRI using Large Deformation Diffeomorphic Metric Mapping. Neuroimage 2008; 41:735-46. [PMID: 18455931 DOI: 10.1016/j.neuroimage.2008.03.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 123] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2007] [Revised: 03/14/2008] [Accepted: 03/17/2008] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Fully-automated brain segmentation methods have not been widely adopted for clinical use because of issues related to reliability, accuracy, and limitations of delineation protocol. By combining the probabilistic-based FreeSurfer (FS) method with the Large Deformation Diffeomorphic Metric Mapping (LDDMM)-based label-propagation method, we are able to increase reliability and accuracy, and allow for flexibility in template choice. Our method uses the automated FreeSurfer subcortical labeling to provide a coarse-to-fine introduction of information in the LDDMM template-based segmentation resulting in a fully-automated subcortical brain segmentation method (FS+LDDMM). One major advantage of the FS+LDDMM-based approach is that the automatically generated segmentations generated are inherently smooth, thus subsequent steps in shape analysis can directly follow without manual post-processing or loss of detail. We have evaluated our new FS+LDDMM method on several databases containing a total of 50 subjects with different pathologies, scan sequences and manual delineation protocols for labeling the basal ganglia, thalamus, and hippocampus. In healthy controls we report Dice overlap measures of 0.81, 0.83, 0.74, 0.86 and 0.75 for the right caudate nucleus, putamen, pallidum, thalamus and hippocampus respectively. We also find statistically significant improvement of accuracy in FS+LDDMM over FreeSurfer for the caudate nucleus and putamen of Huntington's disease and Tourette's syndrome subjects, and the right hippocampus of Schizophrenia subjects.

Combining anatomical manifold information via diffeomorphic metric mappings for studying cortical thinning of the cingulate gyrus in schizophrenia. Neuroimage 2007; 37:821-33.

Abstract
Spatial normalization is a crucial step in assessing patterns of neuroanatomical structure and function associated with health and disease. Errors that occur during spatial normalization can influence hypothesis testing due to the dimensionalities of mapping algorithms and anatomical manifolds (landmarks, curves, surfaces, volumes) used to drive the mapping algorithms. The primary aim of this paper is to improve statistical inference using multiple anatomical manifolds and large deformation diffeomorphic metric mapping (LDDMM) algorithms. We propose that combining information generated by the various manifolds and algorithms improves the reliability of hypothesis testing. We used this unified approach to assess variation in the thickness of the cingulate gyrus in subjects with schizophrenia and healthy comparison subjects. Three different LDDMM algorithms for mapping landmarks, curves and triangulated meshes were used to transform thickness maps of the cingulate surfaces into an atlas coordinate system. We then tested for group differences by combining the information from the three types of anatomical manifolds and LDDMM mapping algorithms. The unified approach provided reliable statistical results and eliminated ambiguous results due to surface mismatches. Subjects with schizophrenia had non-uniform cortical thinning over the left and right cingulate gyri, especially in the anterior portion, as compared to healthy comparison subjects.
