Area of Science:

  • Neonatal neurology
  • Medical imaging
  • Computational anatomy

Background:

  • Periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) is a critical neonatal brain injury in preterm infants (<1500g).
  • Ultrasound (US) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) are key diagnostic modalities.
  • Lack of a gold standard for PVL quantification necessitates cross-validation between imaging techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a semi-automatic 2D US-3D MRI registration scheme.
  • To enhance the accuracy of PVL quantification through multi-modal image fusion.
  • To provide a tool for improved clinical diagnosis of PVL.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of a semi-automatic registration scheme combining 2D ultrasound and 3D MRI data.
  • Utilizing an interactive initialization step for improved accuracy.
