New ConSEAL method aligns cortical surfaces using fiber-tract endpoints

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed ConSEAL, a novel method for aligning cortical surfaces by directly using white-matter fiber-tract endpoints. This approach models tract endpoints on a product manifold and iteratively computes diffeomorphic warps to minimize connectivity mismatch. Experiments on Human Connectome Project data show ConSEAL improves tract-level correspondence and robustness compared to existing methods like ENCORE and MSMAll. AI

    ConSEAL: Connectivity-Informed Streamline Endpoint Alignment for Diffeomorphic Cortical Registration

    arXiv:2605.16742v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Cortical surface registration is often driven by local geometric descriptors (e.g., sulcal depth and curvature). While this approach achieves geometric correspondence, it neglects the long-range wiring constraints imposed by whi…
