Computer-Aided Comparative Assessment of Inflammatory Lesions in MRI of the Spine in Axial Spondyloarthritis Patients

Detection of inflammatory lesions in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the spine in axial Spondyloarthritis (SpA) patients is a labor-intensive task. Current scoring methods often require an expert reader to visually assess 23 vertebral units (VU) on multiple MRI slices. Furthermore, monitoring of progressive changes consists of a manual...

Direct and comparative visualization techniques for HARDI Data

DWI is an MRI imaging technique used to gain information concerning the diffusion process in tissue. Using DTI techniques, a diffusion profile can be constructed for fiber tract analysis. Recently developed HARDI techniques increase the detail to visualization on the process of diffusion. While HARDI reconstruction methods are used to model the...
