Modeling Tumor Cellularity in Newly Diagnosed GBMs using MR Imaging and Spectroscopy

Constantin A., Nelson S., Bajcsy R.

In this paper, we analyze the relationship between parameters of brain tumors obtained through in vivo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), in vivo magneticnresonance spectroscopy (MRS), and ex vivo immunohistochemistry (IHC). The goal of our project is to [...]

Atlas to Image-with-Tumor Registration Based on Demons and Deformation Inpainting

Lamecker H., Pennec X.

This paper presents a method for nonlinear registration of images, where there exists no one-to-one correspondence in parts of the image. Such a situation occurs for instance in the case where an atlas of normal anatomy shall be matched to pathological data, [...]
