Isolation and tracking of transplanted mesenchymal stem cells on MRI images

The problems of automatic isolation and tracking of mesenchymal stem cells transplanted into the brain of experimental animals are considered. The experiments were performed on a series of images of the observed magnetic resonance imaging cut. The task of tracking is executed by constructing shells for the sets of stem cells allocated to the sequence of images. Trajectories connecting the corresponding central points of shells are carried out using special parametric Bézier curves. © 2018 IEEE.
