Hierarchical Particle Optimization for Cortical Shape Correspondence in Temporal Lobe Resection

Aug. 31, 2023—Yue Liu, Shunxing Bao, Dario J. Englot, Victoria L. Morgan, Warren D. Taylor, Ying Wei, Ipek Oguz, Bennett A. Landman, Ilwoo Lyu Paper: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36525831/ Abstract Background: Anterior temporal lobe resection is an effective treatment for temporal lobe epilepsy. The post-surgical structural changes could influence the follow-up treatment. Capturing post-surgical changes necessitates a well-established cortical shape correspondence...
