We describe a new magnetic resonance (MR) image analysis tool that produces cortical
surface representations with spherical topology from MR images of the human brain. The …

Medical imaging has opened a new door into biomedical research. In order to study various
diseases of the brain and detect their impact on brain structure, robust and user friendly …

Reconstructing an accurate and topologically correct representation of the cortical surface of
the brain is an important objective in various neuroscience applications. Most cortical …

Polygon-mesh representations of the cortices of individual subjects are of anatomical
interest, aid visualization of functional imaging data and provide important constraints for …

Human brain mapping aims at establishing correspondences between brain function and
brain anatomy. One of the most intriguing problems in this field is the high interpersonal …

The human cerebral cortex is topologically equivalent to a sheet and can be considered
topologically spherical if it is closed at the brainstem. Low-level segmentation of magnetic …

Segmentation and representation of the human cerebral cortex from magnetic resonance
(MR) images play an important role in neuroscience and medicine. A successful …

This paper describes methods for white matter segmentation in brain images and the
generation of cortical surfaces from the segmentations. We have developed a system that …

Reconstructing the geometry of the human cerebral cortex from MR images is an important
step in both brain mapping and surgical path planning applications. Difficulties with imaging …

Several properties of the cerebral cortex, including its columnar and laminar organization, as
well as the topographic organization of cortical areas, can only be properly understood in …
