    Abstract: We are developing methods to characterize atherosclerotic disease in human carotid arteries using multiple MR images having different contrast mechanisms (T1W, T2W, PDW). To enable the use of voxel gray values for interpretation of disease, we created a new method, local entropy minimization with a bicubic spline model (LEMS), to correct the severe (\$approx\$80\%) intensity inhomogeneity that arises from the surface coil array. This entropy-based method does not require classification and robustly addresses some problems that are more severe than those found in brain imaging, including noise, steep bias field, sensitivity of artery wall voxels to edge artifacts, and signal voids near the artery wall. Validation studies were performed on a synthetic digital phantom with realistic intensity inhomogeneity, a physical phantom roughly mimicking the neck, and patient carotid artery images. We compared LEMS to a modified fuzzy c-means segmentation based method (mAFCM), and a linear filtering method (LINF). Following LEMS correction, skeletal muscles in patient images were relatively isointense across the field of view. In the physical phantom, LEMS reduced the variation in the image to 1.9\-0x1.d5d2cb7facadcp-1nd across the vessel wall region to 2.5\%, a value which should be sufficient to distinguish plaque tissue types, based on literature measurements. In conclusion, we believe that the correction method shows promise for aiding human and computerized tissue classification from MR signal intensities

    Abstract: Vascular disease is a leading cause of death and disability in the western world. Diagnosis and staging of atherosclerosis is a challenge, especially with regards to the identification of plaque vulnerability. We are developing imaging methods based upon MRI and intravascular microcoils. In order to rigorously validate our MRI imaging methods and algorithms, we have developed a new cryo-imaging system that allows one to alternately section and image the block face of tissue. We obtain 3D pathology of vessel segments excised from cadaver and we characterize the tissues of atheroma using episcopic autofluorescence and bright field microscopy images. After embedding the vessel, the block is frozen, and block face microscopic images are taken every 200?m with an image resolution of 30?m?30?m. The series of images is then corrected for uneven illumination, serially registered to one another, and the 3D vessel segment is reconstructed. Some sections are recovered and processed with histological staining for validation. Seven tissue types can be readily identified from the cryo-images: necrotic core, calcification, lipid pool, media, adventitia, fibrosis, thrombus, and normal intima. Since the whole vessel segment is available, we could register 3D data to images from MR, or other modalities, for validation. In addition, visualization tools such as multi-planar reformatting 3D rendering can be used to study 3D plaque morphology, in microscopic detail.

 abstract = {Vascular disease is a leading cause of death and disability in the
 western world. Diagnosis and staging of atherosclerosis is a challenge,
 especially with regards to the identification of plaque vulnerability.
 We are developing imaging methods based upon MRI and intravascular
 microcoils. In order to rigorously validate our MRI imaging methods
 and algorithms, we have developed a new cryo-imaging system that
 allows one to alternately section and image the block face of tissue.
 We obtain 3D pathology of vessel segments excised from cadaver and
 we characterize the tissues of atheroma using episcopic autofluorescence
 and bright field microscopy images. After embedding the vessel, the
 block is frozen, and block face microscopic images are taken every
 200?m with an image resolution of 30?m?30?m. The series of images
 is then corrected for uneven illumination, serially registered to
 one another, and the 3D vessel segment is reconstructed. Some sections
 are recovered and processed with histological staining for validation.
 Seven tissue types can be readily identified from the cryo-images:
 necrotic core, calcification, lipid pool, media, adventitia, fibrosis,
 thrombus, and normal intima. Since the whole vessel segment is available,
 we could register 3D data to images from MR, or other modalities,
 for validation. In addition, visualization tools such as multi-planar
 reformatting 3D rendering can be used to study 3D plaque morphology,

    Abstract: The partial volume effect is a significant limitation in medical imaging that results in blurring when the boundary between two structures of interest falls in the middle of a voxel. A new anisotropic diffusion method allows one to create interpolated 3D images corrected for partial volume, without enhancement of noise. After a zero-order interpolation, we apply a modified version of the anisotropic diffusion approach, wherein the diffusion coefficient becomes negative for high gradient values. As a result, the new scheme restores edges between regions that have been blurred by partial voluming, but it acts as normal anisotropic diffusion in flat regions, where it reduces noise. We add constraints to stabilize the method and model partial volume; i.e., the sum of neighboring voxels must equal the signal in the original low resolution voxel and the signal in a voxel is kept within its neighbor's limits. The method performed well on a variety of synthetic images and MRI scans. No noticeable artifact was induced by interpolation with partial volume correction, and noise was much reduced in homogeneous regions. We validated the method using the BrainWeb project database. Partial volume effect was simulated and restored brain volumes compared to the original ones. Errors due to partial volume effect were reduced by 28 and 35 percent for the 5 and 0 percent noise cases, respectively. The method was applied to in vivo thick MRI carotid artery images for atherosclerosis detection. There was a remarkable increase in the delineation of the lumen of the carotid artery.
