CCB Automated Volume Calculation of 56 ROIs Workflow
Overview - Automated Tissue Extraction and Volume Calculation Workflow
This workflow takes raw un-skull-stripped volumes and generates tables of the volumes for all 56 ROIs currently automatically extracted using LONI BrainParser.
Problem addressed by this workflow
Computing and tabulating the Brain Volumes of 56 cortical and sub-cortical ROIs. This workflow also generates DX models of all 56 ROIs which can be viewed as a scene in ShapeViewer.
Detailed Workflow Usage & Specifications
- Input: Any volumetric file format can be used for the raw unskull-stripped imput images (e.g., DICOM, DIrectories, Analyze, MNC, Nifti, etc.)
- Pre-processing
- Image conversion to Analyze
- Converting to 8-bit
- Intensity Inhomogeneity correction
- Skull-stripping
- Affine Registration
- Auto Volume Parsing
- Compute the 56 ROI regional brain volumes
- Tabulate the Volumetric data across subjects
Pipeline Workflows
Footnotes
- Outputs and results: tabular results are Nx56 matrices, where N=#-subjects for all 56 ROIs.
- Expected times: about 3 hrs.
- Limitations: For some data/populations, the pre-processing steps (skull-stripping, tissue segmentation, etc.) may need to be improved/replaced by analogous processes (e.g., SSMA for Skull-stripping).
