Extended Talairach Landmarks on Neuroimages for Atlas Registration

摘要：

The accuracy of scan-to-atlas registration highlydepends on the number of landmarks and the precision oflandmark identification. An extended landmark,cerebellum inferior (CBI), is introduced in this paper. Theextracted brain and midsagittal plane are applied toidentify the modified Talairach landmarks and the newintroduced landmark CBI. The AC-PC plane is firstlydetermined and then anatomical information is applied toestimate the other landmarks. The proposed method isfully automatic and has been validated on 49 FDG-PETnormal and pathological scans qualitatively, and 15 casesquantitatively. The average processing time is about 3seconds on a standard personal computer.
