Abstract

Corpus callosotmy was introduced in 1940 as a palliative treatment for generalized epilepsies. The improvement of the surgical technique, and the simplification of the initial "total commissurotomy" made that procedure proposed in order to decrease the frequency and the severity of the seizures occurring in the secondary geralzed epilepsies. However the indication criteria remain unclear, due to the difficulty for analysing the results and the feterogenity of the series. A careful selection requiring a comprehensive epilepsy team remains mandatory despite the relative simplicity of the procedure.

A penalized likelihood approach to magnetic resonance image reconstruction.

Currently, images acquired via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) technology are reconstructed using the discrete inverse Fourier transform. While computationally convenient, this approach is not able to filter out noise. This is a serious limitation because the amount of noise in MRI and fMRI can be substantial. In this paper, we propose an alternative approach to reconstruction, based on penalized likelihood methodology. In particular, we focus on non-linear shrinkage estimators and show that this approach achieves a great reduction in integrated mean squared error (IMSE) of the estimated image with respect to the currently used estimator. This approach is extremely fast and easy to implement computationally. In addition, it can be combined with various alternative approaches to MR image reconstruction and can be easily adapted to other, non-MRI contexts, in which the observed data and the quantities of interest are related via a linear transform.
