Abstract Patient motion and image distortion induced by eddy currents cause artifacts in maps of diffusion parameters computed from diffusion‐weighted (DW) images. A novel comprehensive approach to correct for spatial misalignment DW imaging (DWI) volumes acquired with different strengths orientations the sensitizing gradients is presented. This uses a mutual information‐based registration technique transformation model containing that current‐induced rigid body three dimensions. All are...
To characterize anisotropic water diffusion in brain white matter, a theoretical framework is proposed that combines hindered and restricted models of (CHARMED) an experimental methodology embodies features tensor q-space MRI. This model contains extra-axonal compartment, whose properties are characterized by effective tensor, intra-axonal within cylinders. The primarily explains the Gaussian signal attenuation observed at low b values; non-Gaussian does so high b. Both data obtained along...
Nonrigid registration of medical images is important for a number applications such as the creation population averages, atlas-based segmentation, or geometric correction functional magnetic resonance imaging (IMRI) to name few. In recent years, methods have been proposed solve this problem, one class which involves maximizing mutual information (Ml)-based objective function over regular grid splines. This approach has produced good results but its computational complexity proportional...

Gaussian mixture models (GMM) are powerful parametric tools with many applications in machine learning and computer vision. Expectation maximization (EM) is the most popular algorithm for estimating GMM parameters. However, EM guarantees only convergence to a stationary point of log-likelihood function, which could be arbitrarily worse than optimal solution. Inspired by relationship between negative function Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence, we propose an alternative formulation parameters...

A characteristic clinical feature of COVID-19 is the frequent incidence microvascular thrombosis. In fact, autopsy reports have shown widespread thrombotic microangiopathy characterized by extensive diffuse microthrombi within peripheral capillaries and arterioles in lungs, hearts, other organs, resulting multiorgan failure. However, underlying process COVID-19-associated thrombosis remains elusive due to lack tools statistically examine platelet aggregation (i.e., initiation microthrombus...
