Quality Improvementsfor Multi-Modal Neuroimaging Mika Seppä Brain Research Unit / LTL AMI-Centre Helsinki University of Technology
3 central stages: 1. Registration 2. Resampling 3. Visualization
1. Registration • Match metric • Single-modal registration • sum of squared differences • Multi-modal registration • mutual information
MI artifacts • Images aligned • Same pixel/voxel sizes • Registration bias • Local maxima • Continuous sampling • higher-order method MI offset (pixels)
2. Resampling • Very common operation • geom. correction, motion correction, group average etc. ... 15 x SNR = 10*log10(s2/e2)
Two-stage resampling SNR (dB) Time (ms)
3. Visualization 800 fps 0.1-5 fps 120 fps
