Shared-boundary fusion for estimation of noisy multi-modality atherosclerotic plaque imagery |

Our work focuses on applying boundary-preserving smoothing techniques to the fusion of multiple image modal- ities in an effort to improve image-based classification of atherosclerotic lesions. No single imaging modality has yet demonstrated the ability to reliably detect "vulnerable" le- sions. We present an approach for estimating multi-modality biomedical imagery when tissue classes are sharply delim- ited by boundaries. Our approach is based on the Mumford- Shah framework for edge-preserving smoothing. We ex- ploit this framework to fuse heterogeneous sensing modal- ities that image unrelated physicochemical parameters of a piecewise-homogeneous tissue field. We demonstrate this approach by fusing boundary field estimates from MR and CT atherosclerotic lesion imagery into a single estimated underlying tissue boundary field, while simultaneously es- timating the original imagery to better estimate tissue char- acteristics and structure. |
