Multi-Resolution Graph Based Volumetric Cortical Basis Functions From Local Anatomic Features.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:Modern clinical MRI collects millimeter scale anatomic information, but scalp electroencephalography source localization is ill posed, and cannot resolve individual sources at that resolution. Dimensionality reduction in the space of cortical sources is needed to improve computational and storage complexity, yet volumetric methods still employ simplistic grid coarsening that eliminates fine scale anatomic structure. We present an approach to extend near-arbitrary spatial scaling to volumetric localization. METHODS:Starting from a voxelwise brain parcellation, sub-parcels are identified from local cortical connectivity with an iterated graph cut approach. Spatial basis functions in each parcel are constructed using either a decomposition of the local leadfield matrix or spectral basis functions of local cortical connectivity graphs. RESULTS:We present quantitative evaluation with extensive simulations and use multiple sets of real data to highlight how parameter changes impact computed reconstructions. Our results show that volumetric basis functions can improve accuracy by as much as 30%, while reducing computational complexity by over two orders of magnitude. In real data from epilepsy surgical candidates, accurate localization of seizure onset regions is demonstrated. CONCLUSION:Spatial dimensionality reduction with volumetric basis functions improves reconstruction accuracy while reducing computational complexity. SIGNIFICANCE:Near-arbitrary spatial dimensionality reduction will enable volumetric reconstruction with modern computationally intensive algorithms and anatomically driven multi-resolution methods.

Project description:PurposeTo develop and evaluate a super-resolution approach to reconstruct time-resolved 4-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging (TR-4DMRI) with a high spatiotemporal resolution for multi-breathing cycle motion assessment.Methods and materialsA super-resolution approach was developed to combine fast 3-dimensional (3D) cine MRI with low resolution during free breathing (FB) and high-resolution 3D static MRI during breath hold (BH) using deformable image registration. A T1-weighted, turbo field echo sequence, coronal 3D cine acquisition, partial Fourier approximation, and SENSitivity Encoding parallel acceleration were used. The same MRI pulse sequence, field of view, and acceleration techniques were applied in both FB and BH acquisitions; the intensity-based Demons deformable image registration method was used. Under an institutional review board-approved protocol, 7 volunteers were studied with 3D cine FB scan (voxel size: 5 × 5 × 5 mm3) at 2 Hz for 40 seconds and a 3D static BH scan (2 × 2 × 2 mm3). To examine the image fidelity of 3D cine and super-resolution TR-4DMRI, a mobile gel phantom with multi-internal targets was scanned at 3 speeds and compared with the 3D static image. Image similarity among 3D cine, 4DMRI, and 3D static was evaluated visually using difference image and quantitatively using voxel intensity correlation and Dice index (phantom only). Multi-breathing-cycle waveforms were extracted and compared in both phantom and volunteer images using the 3D cine as the references.ResultsMild imaging artifacts were found in the 3D cine and TR-4DMRI of the mobile gel phantom with a Dice index of >0.95. Among 7 volunteers, the super-resolution TR-4DMRI yielded high voxel-intensity correlation (0.92 ± 0.05) and low voxel-intensity difference (<0.05). The detected motion differences between TR-4DMRI and 3D cine were -0.2 ± 0.5 mm (phantom) and -0.2 ± 1.9 mm (diaphragms).ConclusionSuper-resolution TR-4DMRI has been reconstructed with adequate temporal (2 Hz) and spatial (2 × 2 × 2 mm3) resolutions. Further TR-4DMRI characterization and improvement are necessary before clinical applications. Multi-breathing cycles can be examined, providing patient-specific breathing irregularities and motion statistics for future 4D radiation therapy.
