-This projet is in the continuity of [[:​members:​ammar.mechouche:​index| Ammar Mechouche]]'​s PhD on the semantic annotation of cortical structures. ​ The general objective remains to produce image annotations that enable to associate explicit semantics to anatomical ​ features extracted from anatomical MRI images and DTI images. Such features can be regions of interest (ROI) representing anatomical structures such as gyri or gyri parts, as well as fiber bundles extracted from DTI images. The annotations refer to ontologies, that provide a reference terminology and represent the common properties of the referred entities. In our vision, such an approach can be used for various purposes: (1) reasoning - e.g. spatial reasoning - about anatomical entities, especially in the context of surgery planning; (2) intelligent querying of image repositories,​ and (3) mediation for the integration of heterogeneous databases.+This projet is in the continuity of [[:​members:​ammar.mechouche:​index| Ammar Mechouche]]'​s PhD on the semantic annotation of cortical structures. ​ The general objective remains to produce image annotations that enable to associate explicit semantics to anatomical ​ features extracted from anatomical MRI images and Diffusion MRI images.

-In the following of the project we are going to propose new methods to jointly annotate regions of the brain cortex and fiber bundles connecting them, based on a prior knowledge embedded in an ontology. ​ 
  
 +===== Ontology-based approach for in vivo human connectomics:​ the medial Brodmann area 6 case study =====
 +
 +In the following of the project we propose an ontology called "Human Connectomics Ontology"​ (HCO) and we show how it can be used to annotate in vivo human connectomics datasets. This ontology is an extension of the Foundational Model of Anatomy (FMA), specifically designed to represent structural connectivity imaged by diffusion tractography. It includes a subset of FMA, called Neuro-DL-FMA,​ built from several lists of brain anatomical structures: (1) the Freesurfer cortical regions (Desikan et al. 2006), (2) the white matter bundles of the JHU white matter tractography atlas (Wakana et al. 2007) and (3) a list of subcortical and hippocampal structures. In Neuro-DL-FMA,​ the original object properties (such as fma:​regional_part_of and fma:​constitutional_part_of) - originally represented at the individuals'​ level - were translated at the classes'​ level (using existential restriction axioms).
 +The HCO ontology introduces several classes and object properties to denote entities that participate in structural connections reconstructed by diffusion tractography,​ namely:
 +  * Class hco:​Gray_matter_part
 +  * Class hco:​White_matter_part
 +  * Class hco:MR_node
 +  * Class hco:​MR_route
 +  * Object property : hco:​tracto_connects / hco:​is_tracto_connected (inverse property)
 +  * Object property : hco:​mr_connection ​
 +  * Object property : hco:​continuous_with ​
 +
 +{{:​activities:​theme3:​projects:​semantic-annotation:​ontology-files-for-hco.zip|"​zip with ontology files"​}}
 +
 +Experiments have been conducted to show how HCO could assist in analyzing real connectomics patterns. The following annotation files describe connectomics datasets describing connections in the right medial Brodmann Area 6 in five healthy subjects.
