Automatic quality assessment in structural brain magnetic resonance imaging

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Reto Meuli, Gunnar Krüger, Bénédicte Marie Maréchal

MRI has evolved into an important diagnostic technique in medical imaging. However, reliability of the derived diagnosis can be degraded by artifacts, which challenge both radiologists and automatic computer-aided diagnosis. This work proposes a fully-auto ...

On the Convergence of EM-Like Algorithms for Image Segmentation using Markov Random Fields

Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Gunnar Krüger, Alexis Roche, Delphine Ribes Lemay

Inference of Markov random field images segmentation models is usually performed using iterative methods which adapt the well-known expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm for independent mixture models. However, some of these adaptations are ad-hoc and ma ...

Automatic quality assessment in structural brain magnetic resonance imaging

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Reto Meuli, Gunnar Krüger, Bénédicte Marie Maréchal

Quality assessment of MRI is of great importance to derive reliable diagnostic information. As automated quantitative image analysis is being increasingly used in routine, automated measures of quality are needed. Based on a single magnitude image, we prop ...

Magnetization transfer-based 3D visualization of foot peripheral nerves

Cristina Granziera, Gunnar Krüger, Bénédicte Marie Maréchal, Giulio Gambarota

PURPOSE: To investigate magnetization transfer (MT) effects as a new source of contrast for imaging and tracking of peripheral foot nerves. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Two sets of 3D spoiled gradient-echo images acquired with and without a saturation pulse were ...

Who said fat is bad? Skull-stripping benefits from additional fat image

Tobias Kober, Reto Meuli, Gunnar Krüger, Delphine Ribes Lemay

Being a preliminary step for many clinical applications and analyses, accurate skull-stripping is a key challenge in MR brain imaging. One of its major difficulties arises from the contrast similarities at brain/non-brain tissue interfaces, in particular b ...

Multiple Sclerosis Lesion Fingerprint Using Multicontrast MRI

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Cristina Granziera, Gunnar Krüger, Djalel Eddine Meskaldji, Gloria Menegaz, David Paul Roger Romascano, Alexis Roche, Guillaume Bonnier, Ying-Chia Lin

Conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measures of multiple sclerosis patients provide limited information about the nature and the extent of brain damage and repair. We established a clinically compatible protocol including quantitative MRI techniq ...

3D Residual Eddy Current Field Characterisation: applied to Diffusion Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Rolf Gruetter, Alessandro Daducci, Gunnar Krüger, François Lazeyras, Kieran O'Brien

Clinical use of the Stejskal-Tanner diffusion weighted images is hampered by the geometric distortions that result from the large residual 3D eddy current field induced. In this work we aimed to predict, using linear response theory, the residual 3D eddy c ...

MP2RAGE, a self bias-field corrected sequence for improved segmentation and T-1-mapping at high field

Rolf Gruetter, Tobias Kober, José Pedro Rebelo Ferreira Marques, Wietske Van der Zwaag, Gunnar Krüger

The large spatial inhomogeneity in transmit B, field (B-1(+)) observable in human MR images at hi h static magnetic fields (B-0) severely impairs image quality. To overcome this effect in brain T-1-weighted images the, MPRAGE sequence was modified to gener ...

Eddy current effects on a clinical 7T-68 cm bore scanner

Rolf Gruetter, Tobias Kober, José Pedro Rebelo Ferreira Marques, Wietske Van der Zwaag, Gunnar Krüger

Eddy currents induced by switching of magnetic field gradients can lead to distortions in short echo-time spectroscopy or diffusion weighted imaging. In small bore magnets, such as human head-only systems, minimization of eddy current effects is more deman ...

Surface-based characteristics of the cerebellar cortex visualized with ultra-high field MRI

Wietske Van der Zwaag, Cristina Granziera, Gunnar Krüger, Guillaume Bonnier, Kieran O'Brien, Yohan Boillat

Although having a relatively homogeneous cytoarchitectonic organization, the cerebellar cortex is a heterogeneous region characterized by different amounts of myelin, iron and protein expression profiles. In this study, we used quantitative T1 and T2* mapp ...
