Evaluation of Bone Contrast Enhanced MRI Sequences and Voxel Based Segmentation

Johansson, Adam January 2010 (has links)
An ultra-short echo time (UTE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequence was used together with other MRI sequences to evaluate the possibility of segmenting air, soft tissues and bone. Three patients were imaged with the UTE sequence and other sequences as well as with computed tomography (CT). An algorithm using Gaussian mixture models was developed and applied to the problem of segmenting the MR images. A similar algorithm was developed and used to generate an artificial CT image from the MR data. The images of the first patient were used as training data for the algorithms and the images of the other two patients were used for validation. It was found that less than 20 percent of the volume inside the head was misclassified and that the root mean square error of the artificial CT image was less than 420 Hounsfield units. Finally a volunteer was imaged in the same way but with an additional UTE sequence with a larger flip angle. The results suggested that the additional image may improve segmentation further. / En sekevens för bildgivande magnetresonans (MRI) med ultrakort ekotid (UTE) användes tillsammans med andra MRI-sekvenser till att utvärdera möjligheten att segmentera luft, mjukvävnad och ben. Bilder togs av tre patienter med UTE-sekvensen och med övriga sekvenser samt med datortomografi (CT). En algoritm baserad på en blanding av normalfördelningar utvecklades och tillämpades på MR-segmenteringsproblemet.En likande algoritm utvecklades och användes till att skapa en konstgjord CT-bild utifrån MR-bilderna.Bilderna tagna av den första patienten användes till att träna algoritmerna medan bilderna av de två andra patienterna användes för validering. Mindre än 20 procent av volymen inuti huvudet felklassificerades och det kvadratiska medelvärdet av avvikelserna i den konstgjorda CT-bilden var mindre än 420 hounsfieldenheter. Slutligen togs bilder av en frivillig på samma sätt men med ytterligare en UTE-sekvens med en större flippvinkel. Resultatet antyder att den nya bilden kan bidra till en förbättrad segmentering.

O objetivo neste estudo foi avaliar, por meio de uma revisão sistemática da literatura, os principais resultados de pesquisas que compararam diversos materiais em exames de tomografia computadorizada multislice (TCMS) e TCFC, utilizando HU como unidade de medida. Para isso, foi realizada uma busca na base de dados Medline (PubMed) utilizando as palavras chaves “cone beam computed tomography”, “cone beam tomography”, “cbct”, “Hounsfield unit” e “Hounsfield”. A exclusão dos artigos foi realizada, inicialmente, por meio da leitura do título e resumo e, posteriormente, após a leitura do texto completo. Os dados da amostra selecionada (n=8) foram distribuídos em tabelas, possibilitando sua comparação. Os resultados obtidos em relação à aplicação de HU em TCFC foram divergentes, com alguns autores aplicando diretamente HU nesse exame, outros desenvolvendo fatores de correção para essa comparação e outros ainda, invalidando a utilização dessa unidade em exames de TCFC. Apenas um estudo concluiu que se pode aplicar diretamente HU em TCFC, sem prejuízo para avaliação das densidades dos tecidos. Assim, pode-se concluir que uma nova abordagem é necessária para o desenvolvimento de futuros trabalhos nessa linha e que a tentativa de aplicar HU em TCFC deveria ser abandonada. / Despite the many indications of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in dentistry, there is no consensus regarding the accuracy and reliability of bone quality assessment, through Hounsfield Units (HU). The aim of this study was to evaluate, through a systematic review of the literature, the main results of studies comparing various tissues in multislice CT (MSCT) and CBCT scans, using the HU as the unit of measurement. To this end, a search was conducted in the Medline (PubMed) database using the keywords "cone beam computed tomography", "cone beam tomography", "CBCT", "Hounsfield unit", and "Hounsfield". Articles were initially excluded by reading the title and abstract, and were later excluded after reading the full text. The data from the selected sample (n = 8) were tabulated and compared. The results obtained regarding the application of HU in CBCT were divergent, with some authors directly applying HU in CBCT, others developing correction factors for this comparison, and still others invalidating the use of this unit in CBCT. Only one study concluded that is possible to directly apply HU in CBCT, without damaging the evaluation of tissue densities. In this way, it’s possible to affirm that a new approach is necessary for the development of future work in this line and that the attempt to apply HU in CBCT should be abandoned.
