On the Applicability of Registration Uncertainty

no code implementations14 Mar 2018 Jie Luo, Alireza Sedghi, Karteek Popuri, Dana Cobzas, Miaomiao Zhang, Frank Preiswerk, Matthew Toews, Alexandra Golby, Masashi Sugiyama, William M. Wells III, Sarah Frisken

For probabilistic image registration (PIR), the predominant way to quantify the registration uncertainty is using summary statistics of the distribution of transformation parameters.

Misdirected Registration Uncertainty

no code implementations26 Apr 2017 Jie Luo, Karteek Popuri, Dana Cobzas, Hongyi Ding, William M. Wells III, Masashi Sugiyama

Since the transformation is such an essential component of registration, most existing researches conventionally quantify the registration uncertainty, which is the confidence in the estimated spatial correspondences, by the transformation uncertainty.

Transfer Learning for Domain Adaptation in MRI: Application in Brain Lesion Segmentation

no code implementations25 Feb 2017 Mohsen Ghafoorian, Alireza Mehrtash, Tina Kapur, Nico Karssemeijer, Elena Marchiori, Mehran Pesteie, Charles R. G. Guttmann, Frank-Erik de Leeuw, Clare M. Tempany, Bram van Ginneken, Andriy Fedorov, Purang Abolmaesumi, Bram Platel, William M. Wells III

In this study, we aim to answer the following central questions regarding domain adaptation in medical image analysis: Given a fitted legacy model, 1) How much data from the new domain is required for a decent adaptation of the original network?

Active Mean Fields for Probabilistic Image Segmentation: Connections with Chan-Vese and Rudin-Osher-Fatemi Models

no code implementations22 Jan 2015 Marc Niethammer, Kilian M. Pohl, Firdaus Janoos, William M. Wells III

A specific implementation of that model is the Chan-Vese segmentation model (CV), in which the binary segmentation task is defined by a Gaussian likelihood and a prior regularizing the length of the segmentation boundary.

Deformable Registration of Feature-Endowed Point Sets Based on Tensor Fields

no code implementations CVPR 2014 Demian Wassermann, James Ross, George Washko, William M. Wells III, Raul San Jose-Estepar

Our framework relies on a dense tensor field representation which we implement sparsely as a kernel mixture of tensor fields.

Are Registration Uncertainty and Error Monotonically Associated

no code implementations21 Aug 2019 Jie Luo, Sarah Frisken, Duo Wang, Alexandra Golby, Masashi Sugiyama, William M. Wells III

Probabilistic image registration (PIR) methods provide measures of registration uncertainty, which could be a surrogate for assessing the registration error.

Confidence Calibration and Predictive Uncertainty Estimation for Deep Medical Image Segmentation

no code implementations29 Nov 2019 Alireza Mehrtash, William M. Wells III, Clare M. Tempany, Purang Abolmaesumi, Tina Kapur

We make the following contributions: 1) We systematically compare cross entropy loss with Dice loss in terms of segmentation quality and uncertainty estimation of FCNs; 2) We propose model ensembling for confidence calibration of the FCNs trained with batch normalization and Dice loss; 3) We assess the ability of calibrated FCNs to predict segmentation quality of structures and detect out-of-distribution test examples.

An Investigation of Feature-based Nonrigid Image Registration using Gaussian Process

no code implementations12 Jan 2020 Siming Bayer, Ute Spiske, Jie Luo, Tobias Geimer, William M. Wells III, Martin Ostermeier, Rebecca Fahrig, Arya Nabavi, Christoph Bert, Ilker Eyupoglo, Andreas Maier

For a wide range of clinical applications, such as adaptive treatment planning or intraoperative image update, feature-based deformable registration (FDR) approaches are widely employed because of their simplicity and low computational complexity.

PEP: Parameter Ensembling by Perturbation

no code implementations NeurIPS 2020 Alireza Mehrtash, Purang Abolmaesumi, Polina Golland, Tina Kapur, Demian Wassermann, William M. Wells III

In most experiments, PEP provides a small improvement in performance, and, in some cases, a substantial improvement in empirical calibration.

MetaMorph: Learning Metamorphic Image Transformation With Appearance Changes

no code implementations8 Mar 2023 Jian Wang, Jiarui Xing, Jason Druzgal, William M. Wells III, Miaomiao Zhang

This paper presents a novel predictive model, MetaMorph, for metamorphic registration of images with appearance changes (i. e., caused by brain tumors).

Learning Expected Appearances for Intraoperative Registration during Neurosurgery

no code implementations3 Oct 2023 Nazim Haouchine, Reuben Dorent, Parikshit Juvekar, Erickson Torio, William M. Wells III, Tina Kapur, Alexandra J. Golby, Sarah Frisken

In contrast to conventional methods, our approach transfers the processing tasks to the preoperative stage, reducing thereby the impact of low-resolution, distorted, and noisy intraoperative images, that often degrade the registration accuracy.
