Antonio Reyes of the Chalmers Signals and Systems Department, Division of Biomedical Engineering will present his masters thesis "Accurate segmentation of brain MR images".
Date: Tuesday 15th of June 2010
Time: 15:00-16:00
Place: Blå rum, vån 6, Hörsalsvägen 11
Abstract:
Full brain segmentation has been of significant interest throughout the years. Recently, many research groups worldwide have been looking into development of patient-specific electromagnetic models for dipole source location in EEG. To obtain this model, accurate segmentation of various tissues and sub-cortical structures is thus required.
In this project, the performance of three of the most widely used software packages for brain segmentation have been analyzed: FSL, SPM and FreeSurfer. For the analysis, real images from a patient and a set of phantom images have been used in order to evaluate the performance r of each one of these tools.
Keywords: dipole source location, brain, patient-specific model, image segmentation, FSL, SPM, FreeSurfer.
