BACKGROUND: The corpus callosum in the midsagittal plane plays a crucial role in the early diagnosis of diseases. When the anisotropy of the diffusion tensor in the midsagittal plane is calculated, the anisotropy of corpus callosum is close to that of the fornix, which leads to blurred boundary of the segmentation region. OBJECTIVE: To apply a fuzzy clustering algorithm combined with new spatial information to achieve accurate segmentation of the corpus callosum in the midsagittal plane in diffusion tensor images. METHODS: In this algorithm, a fixed region of interest is selected from the midsagittal plane, and the anisotropic filtering algorithm based on tensor is implemented by replacing the gradient direction of the structural tensor with an eigenvector, thus filtering the diffusion tensor of region of interest. Then, the iterative clustering center based on K-means clustering is used as the initial clustering center of tensor fuzzy clustering algorithm. Taking filtered diffusion tensor as input data and different metrics as similarity measures, the neighborhood diffusion tensor pixel calculation method of Log Euclidean framework is introduced in the membership function calculation, and tensor fuzzy clustering algorithm is proposed. In this study, MGH35 data from the Human Connectome Project (HCP) are tested and the variance, accuracy and specificity of the experimental results are discussed. RESULTS: Segmentation results of three groups of subjects in MGH35 data are reported. The average segmentation accuracy is 97.34%, and the average specificity is 98.43%. CONCLUSIONS: When segmenting the corpus callosum of diffusion tensor imaging, our method cannot only effective denoise images, but also achieve high accuracy and specificity.

Fuzzy Clustering Algorithm

For data analyses, it is very important to combine data with similar attribute values into a categorically homogeneous subset, called a cluster, and this technique is called clustering. Generally crisp clustering algorithms are weak in noise, because each datum should be assigned to exactly one cluster. In order to solve the problem, a fuzzy c-means, a fuzzy maximum likelihood estimation, and an optimal fuzzy clustering algorithms in the fuzzy set theory have been proposed. They, however, require a lot of processing time because of exhaustive iteration with an amount of data and their memberships. Especially large memory space results in the degradation of performance in real-time processing applications, because it takes too much time to swap between the main memory and the secondary memory. To overcome these limitations, an extended fuzzy clustering algorithm based on an unsupervised optimal fuzzy clustering algorithm is proposed in this paper. This algorithm assigns a weight factor to each distinct datum considering its occurrence rate. Also, the proposed extended fuzzy clustering algorithm considers the degree of importances of each attribute, which determines the characteristics of the data. The worst case is that the whole data has an uniformly normal distribution, which means the importance of all attributes are the same. The proposed extended fuzzy clustering algorithm has better performance than the unsupervised optimal fuzzy clustering algorithm in terms of memory space and execution time in most cases. For simulation the proposed algorithm is applied to color image segmentation. Also automatic target detection and multipeak detection are considered as applications. These schemes can be applied to any other fuzzy clustering algorithms.
