Brain development in the first 2 years after birth is extremely dynamic and likely plays an
important role in neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism and schizophrenia. …

Active contour segmentation and its robust implementation using level set methods are well-established
theoretical approaches that have been studied thoroughly in the image analysis …

In contrast to acquisition-based noise reduction methods a postprocess based on anisotropic
diffusion is proposed. Extensions of this technique support 3-D and multiecho magnetic …

This paper describes a method for the enhancement of curvilinear structures such as vessels
and bronchi in three-dimensional (3-D) medical images. A 3-D line enhancement filter is …

Construction of population atlases is a key issue in medical image analysis, and particularly
in brain mapping. Large sets of images are mapped into a common coordinate system to …

Brain enlargement has been observed in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but
the timing of this phenomenon, and the relationship between ASD and the appearance of …

Obtaining quantitative measures from biomedical images often requires segmentation, ie,
finding and outlining the structures of interest. Multi-modality imaging datasets, in which …

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by social
deficits and repetitive behaviors that typically emerge by 24 months of age. To develop …

In the last decade, diffusion MRI (dMRI) studies of the human and animal brain have been
used to investigate a multitude of pathologies and drug-related effects in neuroscience …

Background We previously reported that infants who developed autism spectrum disorder (ASD)
had increased cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the subarachnoid space (ie, extra-axial CSF…
