Qualitative results for the detection of malignant gliomas. Five representative examples are presented. For each example, the target volume, expert labeling, label fusion estimate, and the out-of-atlas likelihood are presented. The first four examples represent cases where the tumor region is correctly identified. The last example represents the outlier case [seen in Fig. Fig.2c]2c] in which the cancerous region was almost completely missed.

Out-of-Atlas Likelihood Estimation using Multi-Atlas Segmentation.

Apr. 15, 2013—Andrew J. Asman, Lola Chambless, Reid Thompson, and Bennett A. Landman. “Out-of-Atlas Likelihood Estimation using Multi-Atlas Segmentation.” Medical Physics. 2013 Apr;40(4) PMC23556928 † Full-Text: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3625241/ Abstract Purpose: Multi-atlas segmentation has been shown to be highly robust and accurate across an extraordinary range of potential applications. However, it is limited to the segmentation of structures...

Each of the 567 DTI datasets was characterized by a 112 element vector of stored outputs from the pipeline. PCA analysis was performed on the resulting data. (A) DTI dataset locations in the first two dimensions of the PCA analysis. Data is symbolized by study Roman numeral (Table 1). Single arrow points to a data quality outlier from study I; subject 3 in Figure 4 and in (B). A double headed arrow points to a cluster representing an isolated protocol sub-group from study VI. (B) FA maps from similar sagittal slice locations in two subjects from Study I. Subject 4 is the indicated outlier in (A) and subject 5 was selected from the center of the study I cluster seen in (A).
