Accounting for the Confound of Meninges in Segmenting Entorhinal and Perirhinal Cortices in T1-weighted MRI

Quantification of medial temporal lobe (MTL) cortices, including entorhinal cortex (ERC) and perirhinal cortex (PRC), from in vivo MRI is desirable for studying the human memory system as well as in early diagnosis and monitoring of Alzheimer’s disease. However, ERC … Continue reading

Multi-Template Analysis of Human Perirhinal Cortex in Brain MRI: Explicitly Accounting for Anatomical Variability

The human perirhinal cortex (PRC) plays critical roles in episodic and semantic memory and visual perception. The PRC consists of Brodmann areas 35 and 36 (BA35, BA36). In Alzheimer’s disease (AD), BA35 is the first cortical site affected by neurofibrillary … Continue reading

Important milestone for the Penn ex vivo atlas of the human hippocampus formation

Daniel Adler’s MICCAI 2016 paper “Probabilistic atlas of the human hippocampus combining ex vivo MRI and histology” describes substantial progress on building a comprehensive atlas of the human hippocampus that combines ultra-high resolution ex vivo MRI and serial histological imaging. … Continue reading

Prediction of stress distributions on image-derived models of the mitral leaflets

An integrated methodology for imaging, segmenting, modeling, and deriving computationally-predicted pressure-derived mitral leaflet stresses is presented and points the way towards intraoperative and periprocedural guidance from morphometric and stress modeling of the mitral valve. In vivo human mitral valves are … Continue reading
