Automatic method for cerebral contour extraction and volumetric study on MRI of developing brain.

我们提出了一种新的自动化方法提取大脑发育过程中的脑轮廓的三维MR图像使用AFSS（自动模糊逻辑为基础的颅骨剥离）和模糊主动表面模型（FASM）。我们还开发了更好的新方法来剥离头骨。该方法使我们能够对发育中的婴儿大脑进行自动定量分析。此外，它使我们能够标准化的婴儿大脑，这是重要的是了解脑病灶的变化。我们还开发了几种自动提取脑沟回的方法（厚橡胶模型和颗粒模型）。然而，在这一领域还需要进一步的调查。

We have developed a new automatic method for extracting cerebral contour of developing brain from 3D MR imaging using AFSS(automated fuzzy logic based skull stripping) and fuzzy active surface model(FASM). We also developed better novel method to strip the skull. This method enables us automatic quantitative analysis of infantile brain, which is on the way of developing. Also, it enables us standardization of infantile brain, which is important to know focal brain changes. We also developed several methods(thick rubber model and particle model) for automatic extraction of cerebral sulci and gyri. However, further investigations are needed in this field.
