28 Pascucci, ValerioCharacterization and modeling of PIDX parallel I/O for performance optimizationParallel I/O library performance can vary greatly in re- sponse to user-tunable parameter values such as aggregator count, file count, and aggregation strategy. Unfortunately, manual selection of these values is time consuming and dependent on characteristics of the target machine, the underlying fi...2013-01-01
29 Gerig, GuidoCharacterizing growth patterns in longitudinal MRI using image contrastUnderstanding the growth patterns of the early brain is crucial to the study of neuro-development. In the early stages of brain growth, a rapid sequence of biophysical and chemical processes take place. A crucial component of these processes, known as myelination, consists of the formation of a myel...2014-01-01
30 Gerig, GuidoClosed and open source neuroimage analysis tools and libraries at UNCThe emergence of open-source libraries and development tools in the last decade has changed the process of academic software development in many ways.

31 Gerig, GuidoComputational anatomy to assess longitudinal trajectory of brain growthThis paper addresses the challenging problem of statistics on images by describing average and variability. We describe computational anatomy tools for building 3-D and spatio-temporal 4-D atlases of volumetric image data. The method is based on the previously published concept of unbiased atlas bui...2006-01-01
32 Pascucci, ValerioConforming Morse-Smale complexesMorse-Smale (MS) complexes have been gaining popularity as a tool for feature-driven data analysis and visualization. However, the quality of their geometric embedding and the sole dependence on the input scalar field data can limit their applicability when expressing application-dependent features....2014-01-01
33 Gerig, GuidoConstrained data decomposition and regression for analyzing healthy aging from fiber tract diffusion propertiesIt has been shown that brain structures in normal aging undergo significant changes attributed to neurodevelopmental and neurodegeneration processes as a lifelong, dynamic process. Modeling changes in healthy aging will be necessary to explain differences to neurodegenerative patterns observed in m...2009-01-01
34 Gerig, GuidoCorrespondence evaluation in local shape analysis and structural subdivisionRegional volumetric and local shape analysis has become of increasing interest to the neuroimaging community due to the potential to locate morphological changes. In this paper we compare three common correspondence methods applied to two studies of hippocampal shape in schizophrenia: correspondence...2007-01-01
35 Gerig, GuidoCortical enhanced tissue segmentation of neonatal brain MR images acquired by a dedicated phased array coilThe acquisition of high quality MR images of neonatal brains is largely hampered by their characteristically small head size and low tissue contrast. As a result, subsequent image processing and analysis, especially for brain tissue segmentation, are often hindered. To overcome this problem, a dedic...2009-01-01
36 Meyer, Miriah DawnDesign activity framework for visualization designAn important aspect in visualization design is the connection between what a designer does and the decisions the designer makes. Existing design process models, however, do not explicitly link back to models for visualization design decisions. We bridge this gap by introducing the design activity fr...2014-01-01
37 Gerig, GuidoDiffusion tensor imaging: application to the study of the developing brainObjective: To provide an overview of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and its application to the study of white matter in the developing brain, in both healthy and clinical samples. Method: The development of DTI and its application to brain imaging of white matter tracts is discussed. 48 studies usi...2007-01-01
38 Gerig, GuidoDiscordance of prenatal and neonatal brain development in twinsBackground: Discordance of birth weight has been observed in twin pairs, though little is known about prenatal and early neonatal discordance of head and brain size, and the role that zygosity and chorionicity play in discordances of early brain development in twins. Aims: To compare prenatal and ne...2009-01-01
39 Anderson, Erik WesleyDiscovering and visualizing patterns in EEG dataBrain activity data is often collected through the use of electroen-cephalography (EEG). In this data acquisition modality, the electric fields generated by neurons are measured at the scalp. Although this technology is capable of measuring activity from a group of neurons, recent efforts provide ev...2013-01-01
40 Gerig, GuidoDiscrimination analysis using Multi-object statistics of shape and poseA main focus of statistical shape analysis is the description of variability of a population of geometric objects. In this paper, we present work towards modeling the shape and pose variability of sets of multiple objects. Principal geodesic analysis (PGA) is the extension of the standard technique ...2007-01-01
41 Gerig, GuidoDTI quality control assessment via error estimation from monte carlo simulationsDiffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) is currently the state of the art method for characterizing the microscopic tissue structure of white matter in normal or diseased brain in vivo.
