Abstract:Segmentation of the brain internal structures is an important and a challenging task due to their complex shapes, partial volume effects, low contrasts and anatomical variability between subjects. In this paper we propose a new non-rigid registration method that automatically segments the deep brain internal structures from brain MRI images. An atlas of the structures is used as a priori knowledge, which is modeled as a shape representation. By Integrating the shape knowledge into a classical intensity based non-rigid registration algorithm, the proposed segmentation method allows to ameliorate the results in the case of low contrast on the boundaries of the structures. The shape model is based on distance representation obtained from the atlas. The segmentation of brain subcortical structures is performed on real MRI images and the obtained results are very encouraging.
