DTI Image Registration under Probabilistic Fiber Bundles Tractography Learning

الملخص EN

Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) image registration is an essential step for diffusion tensor image analysis.

Most of the fiber bundle based registration algorithms use deterministic fiber tracking technique to get the white matter fiber bundles, which will be affected by the noise and volume.

In order to overcome the above problem, we proposed a Diffusion Tensor Imaging image registration method under probabilistic fiber bundles tractography learning.

Probabilistic tractography technique can more reasonably trace to the structure of the nerve fibers.

The residual error estimation step in active sample selection learning is improved by modifying the residual error model using finite sample set.

The calculated deformation field is then registered on the DTI images.

The results of our proposed registration method are compared with 6 state-of-the-art DTI image registration methods under visualization and 3 quantitative evaluation standards.

The experimental results show that our proposed method has a good comprehensive performance.
