Abstract |
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of mortality and morbidity, placing a significant financial burden on the healthcare system worldwide. Non-invasive neuroimaging technologies have been playing a pivotal role in the study of TBI, providing important information for surgical planning and patient management. Advances in understanding the basic mechanisms and pathophysiology of the brain following TBI are hindered by a lack of reliable image analysis methods for accurate quantitative assessment of TBI-induced structural and pathophysiological changes seen on anatomical and functional images obtained from multiple imaging modalities. Conventional region-of-interest (ROI) analysis based on manual labeling of brain regions is time-consuming and the results could be inconsistent within and among investigators. In this study, we propose a workflow solution framework that combined the use of non-linear spatial normalization of structural brain images and template-based anatomical labeling to automate the ROI analysis process. The proposed workflow solution is applied to dynamic PET scanning with (15)O-water (0-10 min) and (18)F-FDDNP (0-6 min) for measuring cerebral blood flow in patients with TBI. |
