Mattes’ Mutual Information Metric for Multimodality Registration of DESS and T2 Mapped Knee Articular MR Sequences
Published in The Insight Journal

Urish K.

Registration of multiple MR sequences remains a challenging problem. The Insight Toolkit (ITK) implements the Mattes’ mutual information metric for multimodality registration. Here, example source code, data, and executable files to implement the Mattes’ [...]

Structural MRI Unwarping Using CMTK
Published in The Insight Journal

Rohlfing T.

This document describes the workflow for unwarping structural MR images, in particular T1-weighted SPGR and MP-RAGE scans, using reference scans of the Magphan(R) EMR051 Quantitative Imaging Phantom (a.k.a. ADNI Phantom) and the tools of the Computational [...]

A Skull-Stripping Filter for ITK
Published in The Insight Journal

Bauer S., Fejes T., Reyes M.

Skull-stripping (or brain extraction) is an important pre-processing step in neuroimage analysis. This document describes a skull-stripping filter implemented using the Insight Toolkit ITK, which we named itk::StripTsImageFilter. It is a composite filter [...]

GPU Volume Ray Casting of two Volumes within VTK
Published in The VTK Journal

Krissian K., Falcón-Torres C.

We have modified the current VTK volume rendering on GPU to allow simultaneous rendering of two volumes, each of them with its own color and opacity transfer functions. These changes have led to the creation of two new C++ classes and several GLSL shaders. We [...]

An implementation of TDFFD and LDFFD algorithms
Published in The Insight Journal

De Craene M., Piella G.

This paper describes the implementation of the LDFFD and TDFFD algorithms. Both quantify motion and deformation from an input image sequence by taking profit of the temporal dimension of velocity fields in the diffeomorphic registration framework to process [...]

Enabling ITK-based processing and 3D Slicer MRML scene management in ParaView
Published in The VTK Journal

Enquobahrie A., Bowers M., Ibanez L., Finet J., Audette M., Kolasny A.

This paper documents on-going work to facilitate ITK-based processing and 3D Slicer scene management in ParaView. We believe this will broaden the use of ParaView for high performance computing and visualization in the medical imaging research community. The [...]

Efficient N-Dimensional surface estimation using Crofton formula and run-length encoding

Efficient N-Dimensional surface estimation using Crofton formula and run-length encoding
Published in The Insight Journal

Lehmann G., Legland D.

Unlike the measure of the area in 2D or of the volume in 3D, the perimeter and the surface are not easily measurable in a discretized image. In this article we describe a method based on the Crofton formula to measure those two parameters in a discritized [...]

Walk In A Triangulation : Straight Walk
Published in The Insight Journal

Rigaud S., Gouaillard A.

This document describes the implementation in ITK of the Straight Walk in a Triangulation algorithm proposed by Devillers et al. Using the exact discrete geometrical orientation predicate, and the itk::QuadEdgeMesh API of ITK, we propose an efficient [...]

Spherical Thin Plate Spline Mesh Filter
Published in The Insight Journal

Li W., Magnotta V.

This document describes a contribution to the Insight Toolkit intended to perform landmark-based registration on two meshes. The method implemented here is restricted to meshes with a spherical geometry and topology. Please refer Wahba's paper for the [...]
