Cerebellum Parcellation with Convolutional Neural Networks

What the Singularity image can do

The Singularity performs the following steps:

  • ROBEX is used to estimate a brain mask. This mask is then smoothed to generate a brain weight image. The mask is not used for skull-stripping. It is only used for the bias field correction below.
  • N4 from ANTs is used to perform the bias field correction. The bias field is estimated using the weight image calculated above.
  • The image is rigidly registered to the ICBM2009c nonlinear symmetric template using the ANTs package.
  • The cerebellum of an MNI-registered MPRAGE image is parcellated using the method described in "Shuo Han, et al., Cerebellum parcellation with convolutional neural networks, SPIE 2019 Medical Imaging Image Processing".
  • Removing the neck should improve the results, such as using "robustfov" from fsl, but it is not done in this Singularity image.
  • The parcellation is transformed back to the original space using ANTs with the "MultiLabel" interpolation.
  • Generate .png files of slices in the axial, coronal, and sagittal views for quality control.

Installation

Example Usage

  • The Singularity image can only run on CPU although TensorFlow and Keras are used, because the Singularity image only contains the CPU version of TensorFlow.
  • Assume that the Singularity image is ~/cerebellum-parcellation.simg, the image to parcellate is image.nii.gz, and the output folder is ~/output
singularity run ~/cerebellum-parcellation.simg -i ~/image.nii.gz -o ~/output
  • If the image.nii.gz is under /path/to/image which is not under your home directory
singularity run -B /path/to/image:/mnt ~/cerebellum-parcellation.simg -i /mnt/image.nii.gz -o /mnt/output
  • Print help
singularity run ~/cerebellum-parcellation.simg -h

File structure

The processing will create subfolders "n4"', "mni", "parc", and "pics" under the output folder. The final parcellation result is directly under the output folder.

  • "*n4.nii.gz" is the bias field corrected image
  • "*n4_mni.nii.gz" is the image in the MNI space
  • "*n4_mni_seg.nii.gz" is the parcellation from the deep networks
  • "*n4_mni_seg_post.nii.gz" is the post-processed result.
  • "*n4_mni_seg_post_inverse.nii.gz" is the final post-processed result in the original space.
  • The subfolder "pics/final" contains the axial, coronal, and sagittal slices of the file "*n4_mni_seg_post_inverse.nii.gz".
