This study presents a quality control method to ensure correct left-right orientation between PET and MR images. The technique accurately verified image orientation in 122 studies, crucial for multisite research.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Radiology
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Accurate spatial alignment of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Magnetic Resonance (MR) images is critical for multimodal analysis.
  • Ambiguities in left-right orientation can occur, particularly in large, multisite studies receiving data from various institutions.
  • Ensuring consistent coordinate systems is essential for reliable interpretation of combined PET/MR data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a quality control method for verifying the relative left-right orientation between PET and MR images.
  • To address potential orientation ambiguities in image data used in collaborative research.

Main Methods:

  • Image registration was performed on paired PET/MR images.
  • The MR image was then spatially reflected (left-right reversed).

Related Experiment Videos

  • Image registration was re-executed on the reflected MR image, and the accuracy was compared using a cost function to determine the correct orientation.

    • Main Results:

    • The developed method successfully identified the correct relative left-right orientation between PET and MR image pairs.
    • In a validation set of 122 studies with known orientations, the method achieved 100% accuracy.
    • The cost function comparison effectively distinguished between correct and incorrect orientations.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed quality control method is highly accurate and reliable for verifying PET/MR image orientation.
    • This technique is valuable for ensuring data integrity in multisite imaging studies.
    • Implementing this method can prevent errors arising from orientation discrepancies in clinical and research settings.
