BrainWeb-based multimodal models of 20 normal brains

This project was initially inspired by "BrainWeb: 20 Anatomical Models of 20 Normal Brains"

However there are a number of generally useful tools, image processing & display functions included in this project. For example, this includes volshow() for interactive comparison of multiple 3D volumes, get_file() for caching data URLs, and register() for image coregistration.

Transform

Convert raw image data:

  • Siemens Biograph mMR resolution (~2mm) & dimensions (127, 344, 344)
  • PET/T1/T2/uMap intensities
    • PET defaults to FDG intensity ratios; could use e.g. Amyloid instead
  • randomised structure for PET/T1/T2
    • $t (1 + g [2 G_sigma(r) - 1])$, where
      • r = rand(127, 344, 344) $\in [0, 1)$,
      • Gaussian smoothing sigma = 1,
      • g = 1 for PET; 0.75 for MR, and
      • t = the PET or MR piecewise constant phantom
# show region probability masks
PetClass = brainweb.FDG
label_probs = brainweb.get_label_probabilities(files[-1], labels=PetClass.all_labels)
volshow(label_probs[brainweb.trim_zeros_ROI(label_probs)], titles=PetClass.all_labels, frameon=False);
