中文摘要:
       目的 为功能磁共振中的功能连接研究提供一种更为合适的感兴趣区(ROI)获取方法。方法 20名正常被试者完成视觉任务扫描,对视觉任务组水平激活图利用分水岭算法进行功能分割。结果 分水岭方法可得到单峰的、空间上互相独立的激活区。结论 分水岭方法可以将较大的、有多个激活峰值的功能团块分割为空间上相互独立的单峰脑区,克服了单纯采用激活程度阈值来产生ROI的方法之缺点,为下一步的功能连接分析提供了一种选择ROI的方法。
英文摘要:
      Objective Watershed segmentation algorithm was applied to fMRI activation map to help selection of regions of interest (ROIs) for functional connectivity (FC) study. Methods Twenty normal subjects underwent two fMRI sessions: resting-state and visual response task. Watershed algorithm was used on the group activation map to generate single-peak functional regions. Five ROIs were selected, and FC analysis was performed between every two regions. Paired t-test was performed to investigate the FC differences between resting and task conditions. Results Single-peak and spatially isolated activated areas were obtained by watershed segmentation. Significant FC differences were found between resting and task conditions. Conclusion Watershed approach can be used in functional image segmentation. Large and connected areas with several activated peaks can be isolated into single-peak regions. It may help selection of ROIs for FC analysis.
