UNC Neonate and Infant Cortical Surface Atlases

Li Wang — Mon, 07 May 2018 4:15:23 GMT

UNC infant surface atlases of cortical structures include 2 atlases, 1) The UNC 4D infant cortical surface atlas, which includes surface atlases at 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 60 and 72 months, thus densely covering and well characterizing the critical stages of the dynamic infant brain development; 2) The spatiotemporal neonatal cortical surface atlas, which mainly focuses on the neonatal cortical surface, includes surface atlases at 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, and 44 gestational weeks. Please refer to the following article for the atlases: Li, G., Wang, L., Shi, F., Gilmore, J. H., Lin, W., & Shen, D. (2015). Construction of 4D high-definition cortical surface atlases of infants: Methods and applications. Medical image analysis, 25(1). Wu Z., Li, G., Wang L., Lin, W., Gilmore, J.H., & Shen, D. (2018).

Infant cortical surface atlases are released!

Li Wang — Tue, 10 Oct 2017 12:45:00 GMT

We released UNC 4D longitudinal infant surface atlases of cortical structures from neonates to 6 years of age contain 11 time points, including 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months, 18 months, 24 months, 36 months, 48 months, 60 months and 72 months, thus densely covering and well characterizing the critical stages of the dynamic early brain development.

Infant cortical surface atlases will be released soon!

Coming soon!

UNC 4D longitudinal infant surface atlases of cortical structures from neonates to 6 years of age contain 11 time points, including 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months, 18 months, 24 months, 36 months, 48 months, 60 months and 72 months, thus densely covering and well characterizing the critical stages of the dynamic early brain development.

First-Year Infant Brain Atlases

Li Wang — Mon, 11 Jul 2016 9:49:24 GMT

First-year infant brain atlases will be also released. They will be created from infant longitudinally scans at 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months.

Version 2.0 will be released!

Li Wang — Fri, 27 May 2016 1:06:21 GMT

The new version will include cross-platform interoperability (e.g., Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X) and increased software flexibility, precision, and robustness.
Specifically, for infant segmentation module, the sparse patch-based level sets method (http://www.unc.edu/~liwa/Segmentation%20of%20neonatal%20brain%20MR%20images%20using%20patch-driven%20level%20sets.pdf) and LINKS (http://www.unc.edu/~liwa/LINKS%20Learning-based%20multi-source%20IntegratioN%20frameworK%20for%20Segmentation%20of%20infant%20brain%20images.pdf) will be included, which will allow users more freedom to use their own data for training and classification to overcome the artifacts such as motion.
Additional modules, such as surface-based analysis, will also be released.

Update of iBEAT 1.1 package

Yakang Dai — Tue, 15 May 2012 11:35:33 GMT

A bug on tissue segmentation of single-time-point image is reported and fixed.

iBEAT 1.1 release note

Yakang Dai — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 4:09:46 GMT

The 1.1 version of the iBEAT (Infant Brain Extraction and Analysis Toolbox) is released.

The software was previously named LIBRA (http://www.nitrc.org/projects/libra/). Now it's named iBEAT.
A bug causing the failure of brain labeling using the 0-1-2 infant atlas was fixed. Some minor bugs are fixed.
The software has been tested on a large number of infant datasets and is stable.
