Topics • Deformable Shape Modeling and Registration • Modeling and Predicting Anatomical Deformations Quantitative Morphology Spatial normalization Data pooling Image Data Mining Statistical Atlases • Biomechanical/statistical modeling of tumor growth • Modeling intra-operative deformations
Challenges in population imaging studies: • Inter-individual anatomical variability • Localized subtle effects of disease on structure or function Brain atrophy, functional activation, or gene expression Need good alignment to increase sensitivity of statistical analysis in a standardized reference space Before Spatial Normalization After Spatial Normalization
Shape-Based Elastic Transformation in 3D: • 1) Shape reconstruction of a number of structures • (open or closed surfaces, curves) • 2) Match the features based on their geometric • properties (e.g. curvatures) • 3) Use the feature-to-feature map to drive an elastic • deformation transformation Davatzikos, JCAT/CVIU, 1996/1997
Examples of surfaces that drive the elastic deformation Sulcal Ribbons Cortex Hippocampus Basal ganglia and ventricles

atrophy original Validation of the RAVENS methodology: Simulation of atrophy in precentral and superior temporal gyri
Localized atrophy identified via t-maps of the RAVENS images • Atrophy detected in the two gyri: PCG and STG • T-maps are overlaid on the average WM RAVENS map of 24 subjects
Adaptive Focus Deformable Model (AFDM) • for shape reconstruction and mapping: • Use of an Attribute Vector on each point of the model • Use of an Adaptive Deformation Approach Attribute Vectors: Affine-invariant geometric characteristics from a local to a global scale B C A Shen et.al., IEEE-TMI April 2001
Adaptive nature of AFDM 1. Model can zoom to small important features • In Active Shape Models, large variable features dominate over small variable, yet important features. Identical weighting Large weights on eyes mode 1 mode 2
Different weighting for different parts of the model White: reliable parts large weights Black: unreliable parts small weights

Modeling and Predicting Anatomical Deformability with applications in image-guided surgical planning
Deformable Brain Atlas for Brain Tumor Patients • Segmentation for surgical planning purposes • Statistical atlases linking structural variables, surgical procedure, and surgical outcome Outcome A Outcome B
Kyriacou et.al., IEEE-TMI, 1998 Simulation of tumor growth via a biomechanical model
Fundamental Limitation: Estimating the inverse deformation field is a very ill-posed problem Atlas Unknown normal brain Patient’s brain deformed by tumor Unknown initial tumor position
Using shape statistics to model the deformation between pre- and intra-operative anatomy Pre-operative plan Intra-operative anatomy • Need to be able to predict anatomical deformations in the • planning stage • If part of a structure is visible intra-operatively but another • part is missing, the latter can be predicted Gray predicted from green
Generation of training samples, using biomechanical models or available images (e.g. intra-operative images) s1 S = s2 • Find the principal modes of variation of s, which includes the principal modes of co-variation betweens1 and s2 • Find the probability of the coefficients of each eigenvector • Given s2 then estimate s1 c11 c12 c22
