  Motivation: Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is a global health challenge, yet its mechanism is not understood. Human post-impact imaging is multi-factorial and variable. Studies to unveil the local brain injury cascade are needed. Goal(s): To present a porcine model of realistic human-mimicking head impacts with multiple MRI timepoints and histologic validation. Approach: A linear impactor delivers a head impact leading to high rotational accelerations. We record biomechanics and perform deta…

• Volumetric Histology via High-Fidelity Coregistration with MRI

  Proceedings on CD-ROM - International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine. Scientific Meeting and Exhibition/Proceedings of the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, Scientific Meeting and Exhibition · 2025-09-16

  article1st authorCorresponding

  Motivation: Corroborating findings in 3D from ex-vivo MRI with densely-sampled histology is essential to biomarker development, but challenging due to nonlinear 3D deformations. Goal(s): Reconstructing volumetric histology by accurately aligning densely-sampled histological images with post-mortem MRI data to enhance validation of 3D pathological findings. Approach: We built and optimized a novel pipeline integrating advanced imaging with precise registration algorithms to link high-resolution M…
