Abstract

Anatomy Biological materials Biomedical imaging Biomedical informatics Brain Educational institutions Image reconstruction Laboratories Mice Optimization methods
In this study we investigate the effectiveness of the symmetry feature when applied to the three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of mouse brain sections. The symmetry line of each section is estimated, finding the reflective rigid-body transformation that minimizes the absolute distance between a section and its flipped version. Aligning these brain sections' symmetry lines together forms a 3D brain volume. This symmetry-based brain reconstruction is compared with a moment-based reconstruction. Our results show that a symmetry-based reconstruction is a feasible approach that is less sensitive to local distortion and tears and that will be applicable when the inter-section distance is large.
