From Bruce.Pike at McGill.CA Wed Oct 1 16:30:26 2008 From: Bruce.Pike at McGill.CA (Dr. Bruce Pike) Date: Wed, 1 Oct 2008 16:30:26 -0400 Subject: [BIC-announce] Fwd: PhD Oral Defense - Peter Savadjiev References: Message-ID: > > MCGILL UNIVERSITY > SCHOOL OF COMPUTER SCIENCE > Ph.D. Oral Defense > > > SPEAKER: Peter Savadjiev > TITLE: Perceptual organization in diffusion MRI: curves and > streamline flows > DATE: Thursday October 9, 2008 > TIME: 10:30 a.m. > PLACE: McConnell Eng. Bldg., Room 437 > > ABSTRACT: > > This thesis proposes a new computational framework for the modeling of > biological tissue structure in diffusion MRI data. By measuring the > local Brownian motion of water molecules, diffusion MRI provides > estimates of local fibre orientations in tissues such as the white > matter of the brain. Over the last years, diffusion MRI has become an > important tool for the in vivo study of brain connectivity. > Nevertheless, the inference of the structure of white matter fibres is > still an open problem. > > The methodology introduced in this thesis is based on differential > geometry and perceptual organisation. The key ideas are to model white > matter fibres as 3D space curves, to view diffusion MRI data as > providing information about the tangent vectors of these curves, and > to > frame the problem as that of inferring 3D curve geometry from a > discretized, incomplete, and potentially blurred and noisy field of > tangent measurements. Inspired by notions used in perceptual > organisation in computer vision, we develop local geometrical > constraints which guide the inference process and ultimately result in > the recovery of the underlying fibre geometry. > > We start by introducing a notion of co-helicity between triplets of > orientation estimates, which is incorporated in a geometrical > inference > process. This process is referred to as 3D curve inference, and it > estimates the parameters of the local best-fit osculating helix for > each > orientation in the dataset. Based on this, a relaxation labeling > framework is set-up for the regularization of diffusion MRI data. > > We then develop a method based on 3D curve inference for the > identification of complex sub-voxel fibre configurations in high > angular > resolution diffusion (HARD) MRI. Based on the inferred osculating > helices for each ODF maximum in the data volume, the method labels > voxels in one of three categories: (1) voxels with a single (possibly > curving) fibre, (2) voxels with a fanning fibre configuration, and (3) > voxels with a crossing fibre configuration. > The focus then shifts from modeling individual curves to the > modeling of > sets of dense, locally parallel 3D space curves which we refer to as > streamline flows. We develop a differential geometric characterization > of such structures by considering the local behaviour of the > associated > 3D frame field, leading to the associated tangential, normal and > bi-normal curvature functions. > Based on minimal surface theory, we adopt a generalized helicoid model > as an osculating object and develop the connection between its > parameters and these curvature functions. This osculating object is > incorporated in a regularization scheme using relaxation labeling. > It is > also incorporated in a white matter tract segmentation method based on > geometrical consistency between inferred osculating objects. > > The algorithms in this thesis are validated experimentally through > regularization and tractography studies with in vivo diffusion tensor > (DT) and HARD data from a human brain, as well as data from a > biological > phantom and synthetic data, for the case of the 3D curve inference > method. > > Committee: > Prof. J.

Uncertainty has been ignored by computer-assisted surgery research and commercial surgical systems. Anatomical data is presented to the surgeon as though it were perfect. A surgeon who is not aware of this uncertainty can make critical errors (consider, for example, inserting screws into the spine). We contribute a method of estimating uncertainty in tracking, calibration, and registration in real time in the operating room. We show that our method produces reliable estimates of uncertainty. We compare methods of conveying uncertainty information in a user study. Our work addresses the existence of uncertainty in surgery and offers a first step towards helping surgeons make informed decisions in the presence of imperfect data. Bio: Amber Simpson is a PhD student in the School of Computing at Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario. She is supervised by Randy Ellis and James Stewart. She received her BSc (2000) in computer science and mathematics from Trent University and her MSc (2002) in computer science from Queen's University. She works closely with the Human Mobility Research Centre at Kingston General Hospital. Amber's research interests span medical robotics, human-computer interaction, and visualization. Her method of computer-assisted deformity correction has been performed on six patients to date. A major current research focus is improving the quality of error and uncertainty information given to surgeons in the operating room. In addition, Amber teaches Lego robotics through Computing Unplugged, a program, supported by an NSERC Promoscience grant, that offers outreach and mentorship to girls in grades five and six. She also coached the Queen's Programming Contest Team; placing 12th at the world finals contest in Prague in 2004 and placing 27th in Honolulu in 2002. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --- Tal Arbel, Assistant Professor Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering Tel.

Many of you know that for more than thirty years the Neuro Choir has come together each Holiday Season to sing traditional songs, mostly in English and French, and mostly in four-part a capella arrangements. We sing at two events; 1) we tour the wards one evening in late December to sing for the patients, and 2) we provide the musical entertainment at the Reitman Lunch. Each year we lose several old members due to turnover of the Neuro population and each year we get several new members, which continues the tradition. If you are someone who likes to sing, we would be very pleased if you would join us this year. Reading music is not essential - most of us learn our parts by ear. Our main practice time is Wednesdays/Fridays at noon. If it sounds interesting, please contact Ken at ken.hastings at mcgill.ca or phone (398)-1852 to find out where we are meeting.
