Notes on Atropos From Publication( 2011 Neuroinfomatics)

Avants et al._2008_Medical image analysis.pdf

Brainweb Application:

Sequential Processing of N4 and Atropos
40% RF with 3% noise
Beta of MRF = 0.2
Initial K-Means K=3
With Brian Mask

"The multivariate segmentation result, in combination with the low PD segmentation performance, suggests PD and T1 provide complementary information that may improve 3-tissue segmentation and serves to validate the multivariate Atropos implementation. In this case, the benefit is likely to derive from the fact that the PD image has no bias"

Brain mask is created by thresholding brain_seg label from BRAINS ABC. (CHEATING!?)

import SimpleITK as sitk
image = sitk.ReadImage( "../BRAINSABC_brainweb/Image_1mm_pn3_rf0/brain_label_seg.nii.gz" )
binary = sitk.BinaryThreshold( image, 1, 255 )
binary = sitk.BinaryFillhole( binary, False )
sitk.WriteImage( binary, "./brainMask.nii.gz" )

Resut:

Similarity Index

Hausdorrf Distance

As they mentioned in their paper, yes multi-modality does not really helpful in their setting.

I have not succeeded with Prior initialization.

2. Attempt with SyN Atlas to Subject Registration with 17 Priors

Below image is what I got from this trial. In general, images are real bright. I have to adjust constrast to see differecces in white and grey matter. It seems like Atropos made real bright sub-cortical area than surface, and saying all the center tissue is whiate matter.

How should I adjust?!

Data: (Phillps data- bad choice as a trial..)

Running Atropos for 3-dimensional images.
Warning: the sum of the priors from the the prior probability images are less than the probability threshold within the mask region.  As a result each zero probability voxel will be initially assigned a random label.  The user might want to consider various alternative strategies like assigning an additional "background" label to the zero probability voxels or propagating the probabilities within the mask region.

Notes

A new folder in the current working directory called "priors" will be created. It contains renamed copies of all of the input Prior Probability Images in the form of priorProbImages%02d.nii.gz. These are then used as the input in the --initialization flag for the priors.

For example:

--initialization PriorProbabilityImages[10,priors/priorProbImages%02d.nii.gz,0.8,1e-07]

Wraps command Atropos

A finite mixture modeling (FMM) segmentation approach with possibilities for specifying prior constraints. These prior constraints include the specification of a prior label image, prior probability images (one for each class), and/or an MRF prior to enforce spatial smoothing of the labels. Similar algorithms include FAST and SPM.
