  • Patent number: 8965093
    Abstract: A method for registering functional MRI data, comprising: computing the functional connectivity pattern for every voxel in its given spatial neighborhood for every fMRI image; extracting features invariant to spatial location of the neighboring voxels based on the functional connectivity patterns; constructing similarity metric between voxels of different images based on the extracted features, and using fluid-like demons registration model to spatial normalize the fMRI data. The present invention tries to exploit the multi-range functional connectivity information of the fMRI data, and to register functional MR images based on the extracted spatial-location-invariant features. The present invention is robust against local spatial perturbations and does not depend on the assumption that functional signals of different subjects are synchronic, hence can be applied to resting-state fMRI data, and can achieve a statistically significant improvement in functional consistency across subjects.
