A database of magnetic resonance imaging‐transcranial ultrasound co‐registration
Bibliographic record
Abstract
PURPOSE: As a portable and cost-effective imaging modality with better accessibility than Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), transcranial sonography (TCS) has demonstrated its flexibility and potential utility in various clinical diagnostic applications, including Parkinson's disease and cerebrovascular conditions. To better understand the information in TCS for data analysis and acquisition, MRI can provide guidance for efficient imaging with neuronavigation systems and the confirmation of disease-related abnormality. In these cases, MRI-TCS co-registration is crucial, but relevant public databases are scarce to help develop the related algorithms and software systems. ACQUISITION AND VALIDATION METHODS: This dataset comprises manually registered MRI and transcranial ultrasound volumes from eight healthy subjects. Three raters manually registered each subject's scans, based on visual inspection of image feature correspondence. Average transformation matrices were computed from all raters' alignments for each subject. Inter- and intra-rater variability in the transformations conducted by raters are presented to validate the accuracy and consistency of manual registration. In addition, a population-averaged MRI brain vascular atlas is provided to facilitate the development of computer-assisted TCS acquisition software. DATA FORMAT AND USAGE NOTES: The dataset is provided in both NIFTI and MINC formats and is publicly available on the OSF data repository: https://osf.io/zdcjb/. POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS: This dataset provides the first public resource for the development and assessment of MRI-TCS registration with manual ground truths, as well as resources for establishing neuronavigation software in data acquisition and analysis of TCS. These technical advancements could greatly boost TCS as an imaging tool for clinical applications in the diagnosis of neurological conditions such as Parkinson's disease and cerebrovascular disorders.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
