| dc.description.abstract | Diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging is a key modality in medical imaging for neuroscience, which allows to deduce the fiber tracts that conform the brain’s white matter. With this technique, displacement of water molecules in a specific spatial direction is measured, giving information of the shapes depending on the predominant diffusion directions. When this technique is used on images from multiple sclerosis patients there are some areas where water diffusion is equally distributed due to the illness’ effect, losing the necessary information to reconstructing the fiber tracts. In this thesis, we propose a variational method based on the Laplace partial differential equation to estimate the right information on those damaged areas allowing the fiber tract reconstruction (tractography). Finally, we also present experiments over synthetic and real images. | en |
| dc.description.abstract | Las imágenes potenciadas en difusiĂłn son un mĂ©todo clave en imagen mĂ©dica para neurociencia, que permiten deducir los tractos que conforman la materia blanca del cerebro. Usando esta tĂ©cnica, se puede medir el desplazamiento de molĂ©culas de agua en una direcciĂłn espacial concreta, lo que nos da informaciĂłn estructural dependiendo de las principales direcciones de difusiĂłn. Cuando esta tĂ©cnica se usa con imágenes de difusiĂłn de pacientes con esclerosis mĂşltiple, sin embargo, algunas áreas lesionadas muestran una distribuciĂłn de la difusiĂłn equiprobable, perdiendo la informaciĂłn necesaria para reconstruir los tractos. En esta tesis, proponemos un mĂ©todo variacional basado en la ecuaciĂłn diferencial de Laplace para estimar la informaciĂłn en esas zonas lesionadas, permitiendo asĂ reconstruir los tractos (tractografĂa). Para acabar, tambiĂ©n presentamos experimentos sobre imágenes sintĂ©ticas y reales. | es |
