  • Automated surface-based anatomical analysis based on atlas-based segmentation of medical imaging
    Patent number: 9730615
    Abstract: A non-invasive imaging system, including: a non-invasive imaging scanner; a signal processing unit in communication with the imaging scanner to receive an imaging signal from a subject under observation; and a data storage unit in communication with the signal processing unit, wherein the data storage unit stores template data corresponding to a tissue region of the subject, and wherein the signal processing unit is adapted to generate a surface map to encode a property of a subvolume of the tissue region using the template data.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 7, 2009
    Date of Patent: August 15, 2017
    Assignee: THE JOHN HOPKINS UNIVERSITY
    Inventors: Michael I. Miller, Susumu Mori, Anqi Qiu
  • Advanced cost functions for image registration for automated image analysis: multi-channel, hypertemplate and atlas with built-in variability
    Patent number: 8600131
    Abstract: A non-invasive imaging system, comprising: an imaging scanner; a signal processing system in communication with the imaging scanner to receive an imaging signal from the imaging scanner; and a data storage unit in communication with the signal processing system, wherein the data storage unit stores template data corresponding to a tissue region of a subject under observation, wherein the signal processing system is adapted to compute, using the imaging signal and the template data, refined template data corresponding to the tissue region, and wherein the refined template data incorporates subpopulation variability information associated with the tissue region such that the signal processing system provides an image of the tissue region in which a substructure is automatically identified taking into account the subpopulation variability information.
    Type: Grant
