Artificial Intelligence in Diffusion MRI

Enhanced Cuckoo Search Algorithm with Metaheuristic Components for Extracting the Maxima of the Orientation Distribution Function

Authors:

  • Presents a new method of addressing the orientation distribution function (ODF) problem by adapting one of the metaheuristic algorithms, namely the cuckoo search algorithm (CSA)
  • Explains new methods, such as metaheuristic algorithms and components, of addressing a problem in the medical field (i.e., extracting the orientation distribution function) – more precisely, in the brain
  • Proposes three improved methods: (i) modified cuckoo search algorithm (MCSA); (ii) hybridizing the MCSA with components of the bat algorithm (CSBA), and (iii) hybridizing the CSBA with hill climbing (CSAHC)

Part of the book series: Studies in Computational Intelligence (SCI, volume 877)

About this book

This book focuses on the use of artificial intelligence to address a specific problem in the brain – the orientation distribution function. It discusses three aspects: (i) Preparing, enhancing and evaluating one of the cuckoo search algorithms (CSA); (ii) Describing the problem: Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) is used for non-invasive investigations of anatomical connectivity in the human brain, while Q-ball imaging (QBI) is a diffusion MRI reconstruction technique based on the orientation distribution function (ODF), which detects the dominant fiber orientations; however, ODF lacks local estimation accuracy along the path. (iii) Evaluating the performance of the CSA versions in solving the ODF problem using synthetic and real-world data. This book appeals to both postgraduates and researchers who are interested in the fields of medicine and computer science.
