76 Gerig, GuidoSpatiotemporal modeling of distribution-valued data applied to DTI tract evolution in infant neurodevelopmentThis paper proposes a novel method that extends spatiotemporal growth modeling to distribution-valued data. The method relaxes assumptions on the underlying noise models by considering the data to be represented by the complete probability distributions rather than a representative, single-valued su...2013-01-01
77 Gerig, GuidoModeling longitudinal MRI changes in populations using a localized, information-theoretic measure of contrastLongitudinal MR imaging during early brain development provides important information about growth patterns and the development of neurological disorders. We propose a new framework for studying brain growth patterns within and across populations based on MRI contrast changes, measured at each time ...2013-01-01
78 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
79 Macleod, Robert S.Sensitivity of epicardial electrical markers to acute ischemia detectionIntroduction: We hypothesize that electrocardiographic measurements from the intramyocardial space contain more sensitive markers of ischemia than those detectable on the epicardium. The goal of this study was to evaluate different electrical markers for their potential to detect the earliest phases...2014-01-01
80 Jaskowski, Troy D.Neuronal uptake of anti-Hu antibody, but not anti-Ri antibody, leads to cell death in brain slice culturesBackground: Anti-Hu and anti-Ri antibodies are paraneoplastic immunoglobulin (Ig)G autoantibodies which recognize cytoplasmic and nuclear antigens present in all neurons. Although both antibodies produce similar immunohistological labeling, they recognize different neuronal proteins. Both antibodies...2014-01-01
81 Gerig, GuidoMultivariate Modeling of longitudinal MRI in early brain development with confidence measuresThe human brain undergoes rapid organization and structuring early in life. Longitudinal imaging enables the study of these changes over a developmental period within individuals through estimation of population growth trajectory and its variability.

82 Gerig, GuidoSemi-automated application for kidney motion correction and filtration analysis in MR renographyAltered renal function commonly affects patients with cirrhosis, a consequence of chronic liver disease.

Two-dimensional ...2014-01-01
83 Gerig, GuidoToward a comprehensive framework for the spatiotemporal statistical analysis of longitudinal shape dataThis paper proposes an original approach for the statistical analysis of longitudinal shape data. The proposed method allows the characterization of typical growth patterns and subject-specific shape changes in repeated time-series observations of several subjects. This can be seen as the extension ...2013-01-01
84 Gerig, GuidoGeodesic shape regression in the framework of currentsShape regression is emerging as an important tool for the statistical analysis of time dependent shapes. In this paper, we develop a new generative model which describes shape change over time, by extending simple linear regression to the space of shapes represented as currents in the large deformat...2013-01-01
85 Gerig, GuidoGeodesic image regression with a sparse parameterization of diffeomorphismsImage regression allows for time-discrete imaging data to be modeled continuously, and is a crucial tool for conducting statistical analysis on longitudinal images. Geodesic models are particularly well suited for statistical analysis, as image evolution is fully characterized by a baseline image an...2013-01-01
86 Gerig, Guido3D of brain shape and volume after cranial vault remodeling surgery for craniosynostosis correction in infantsThe skull of young children is made up of bony plates that enable growth. Craniosynostosis is a birth defect that causes one or more sutures on an infant's skull to close prematurely. Corrective surgery focuses on cranial and orbital rim shaping to return the skull to a more normal shape. Functional...2013-01-01
87 Gerig, Guido4D modeling of infant brain growth in Down's Syndrome and controls from longitudinal MRIModeling of early brain growth trajectories from longitudinal MRI will provide new insight into neurodevelopmental characteristics, timing and type of changes in neurological disorders from controls. In addition to an ongoing large-scale infant autism neuroimaging study 1, we recruited 4 infants wit...2014-01-01
88 Gerig, GuidoNormative modeling of early brain maturation from longitudinal DTI reveals twin-singleton differencesEarly brain development of white matter is characterized by rapid organization and structuring.

90 Gerig, GuidoA joint framework for 4D segmentation and estimation of smooth temporal appearance changesMedical imaging studies increasingly use longitudinal images of individual subjects in order to follow-up changes due to development, degeneration, disease progression or efficacy of therapeutic intervention. Repeated image data of individuals are highly correlated, and the strong causality of infor...2014-01-01
