ANTs/ANTsR Brain Templates

Population level templates encode knowledge about the expected shape and appearance of brain structures within a given demographic cross-section. Spatial/neuroanatomical priors also encode specific knowledge about the identity and spatial relationships between structures in the brain. The prior knowledge encoded by brain templates can be propagated to new subjects in order to aid both segmentation and registration in large studies. This critical step allows us to automatically convert images into parseable information thus enabling images to be more easily combined with other information such as genomics, psychometrics or demographics, all crucial to bridging gaps in the era of big data.
These templates are intended for use with ANTs http://stnava.github.io/ANTs/ and ANTsR http://stnava.github.io/ANTsR/ medical image processing architectures.
We provide templates for 4 public neuroimaging datasets: IXI, Oasis, NKI-1 and Kirby/MMRR. Each template contains an average T1 neuroimage of the head and tissue priors for cortex, white matter, cerebrospinal fluid, deep gray matter, brainstem and the cerebellum.

NKI

人口层面的模板编码了特定人口群体中大脑结构的预期形态与外观知识。空间/神经解剖学先验亦编码了大脑中结构身份及其空间关系的特定知识。大脑模板编码的先验知识可传递至新个体，以辅助大型研究中的分割与配准。此关键步骤使我们能够将图像自动转换为可解析的信息，从而使得图像能够更易于与其他信息相结合，如基因组学、心理测量学或人口统计学数据，这些信息在大数据时代弥合知识鸿沟方面至关重要。

这些模板旨在与 ANTs http://stnava.github.io/ANTs/ 和 ANTsR http://stnava.github.io/ANTsR/ 医学图像处理架构一同使用。我们为以下四个公开神经影像数据集提供了模板：IXI、Oasis、NKI-1 和 Kirby/MMRR。每个模板包含头部平均 T1 神经影像以及皮质、白质、脑脊液、深灰质、脑干和小脑的组织先验。
