Multimodality brain atlas based on the visible human project dataset

A multimodality brain atlas is implemented based on the visible human dataset. Firstly, the VHD's images of different modalities are interpolated and registered into a common cubic space. A global rotation and translation is then used to transform the registered dataset into the standard Talairach coordinate. The Talairach atlas is mapped onto the VHD's images with a piecewise linear scaling. A texture segmentation method is developed to label the different tissue types according to the knowledge provided by the Talairach atlas. Finally, the 3D rendering results are provided.
