P025 MPRAGE Pre-Contrast
2
P025 MPRAGE w/ Z-Score < -4
3
Notes This was accomplished by doing an inverse nonlinear warp from MNI to the SPGR FA 18, then to the MPRAGE space with a linear transform (ideally these transforms should be combined) Images are larger than shown, zoom in for more detail Not all lesions are found by the z-score thresholding but a significant amount are Large volumes of white matter are found to be significantly demyelinated: perhaps DAWM or actually revealing the “invisible disease”? This was one the patients with a larger amount of low MWF volume, EDSS 5.0 SPMS
4
Another Look at Multi-Channel Segmentation with FSL FAST
5
MPRAGE Same slices as shown in the z-score slides Lesions of interest circled
6
SPGR 3 class-CSF Generally good CSF segmentation Does not capture most lesions
7
SPGR 3 class-GM Includes some or all of lesions
8
SPGR 3 class-WM Matches nicely with the MPRAGE scan Partially includes lesions
9
SPGR 4 class-CSF Generally worse than 3 class CSF
10
SPGR 4 class-GM More conservative estimate of GM, much fewer lesions included
11
SPGR 4 class-More GM Deep GM Includes many of the lesions
12
SPGR 4 class-WM Does well at excluding most focal lesions but appears to be some partially including some More conservative
13
SPGR-FLAIR 3 class-CSF Grabs most lesions Unfortunately mis-classifies GM too
14
SPGR-FLAIR 3 class-GM Includes many regions previously seen as WM
15
SPGR-FLAIR 3 class-WM Good exclusion of lesions identified by z-score Does poorly at WM and GM segmentation, misses some WM
16
SPGR-FLAIR 4 class-CSF Generally worse than 3 class CSF also Chokes back mask too far
17
SPGR-FLAIR 4 class-GM Still misidentifies a lot of WM as GM Catches edges of our lesions of interest
18
SPGR-FLAIR 4 class-More GM Again mis-includes a lot of WM
19
SPGR-FLAIR 4 class-WM Avoids lesions but also misses a lot of regular WM since those are misidentified as GM
20
SPGR-T2-PD 3 class-CSF Decent at outside brain CSF, though catches some WM Does not get any CSF inside brain
21
SPGR-T2-PD 3 class-GM Captures our lesions of interest Gets ventricle CSF Not as good as SPGR 3 class
22
SPGR-T2-PD 3 class-WM Overly greedy WM Misses focal lesions but gets GM
23
SPGR-T2-PD 4 class-CSF Same problems as with SPGR-T2-PD CSF segmentation
24
SPGR-T2-PD 4 class-GM GM + inner CSF Catches darker lesions Pretty poor, also gets WM
25
SPGR-T2-PD 4 class-More GM Catches some lesions but overall pretty garbagey Doesn’t really correspond to a distinct tissue class
26
SPGR-T2-PD 4 class-WM A conservative estimate Circled region shows possible inclusion of GM and missing of brain stem
27
Best CSF SPGR 3 class (includes some lesions) SPGR-FLAIR 3 class (includes all lesions) SPGR-T2-PD 3 class (useful for out of brain CSF, does not include lesions)
28
Best WM SPGR 3 class (best anatomically) SPGR 4 class (conservative) SPGR-FLAIR 4 class (more lesion exclusion)
29
Best GM SPGR 3 class (GM+lesions) SPGR 4 class (deep GM+lesions)
30
Best Lesion SPGR 3 class (GM+lesions) SPGR-FLAIR 3 class (CSF missing some lesions)
31
Coming Soon Segmentation with a priori maps Ideas about how to combine maps to produce NAWM, NAGM, and lesion only masks
