Contrast-Based Fully Automatic Segmentation of White Matter Hyperintensities: Method and Validation
White matter hyperintensities (WMH) on T2 or FLAIR sequences have been commonly observed on MR images of elderly people. They have been associated with various disorders and have been shown to be a strong risk factor for stroke and dementia. WMH studies usually required visual evaluation of WMH load or time-consuming manual delineation. This paper introduced WHASA (White matter Hyperintensities...
متن کاملFully automatic segmentation of white matter hyperintensities in MR images of the elderly.
The role of quantitative image analysis in large clinical trials is continuously increasing. Several methods are available for performing white matter hyperintensity (WMH) volume quantification. They vary in the amount of the human interaction involved. In this paper, we describe a fully automatic segmentation that was used to quantify WMHs in a large clinical trial on elderly subjects. Our seg...
متن کاملWhite matter hyperintensities segmentation: a new semi-automated method
White matter hyperintensities (WMH) are brain areas of increased signal on T2-weighted or fluid-attenuated inverse recovery magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. In this study we present a new semi-automated method to measure WMH load that is based on the segmentation of the intensity histogram of fluid-attenuated inversion recovery images. Thirty patients with mild cognitive impairment with ...
متن کاملWhite Matter Hyperintensities Segmentation in a Few Seconds Using Fully Convolutional Network and Transfer Learning
In this paper, we propose a fast automatic method that segments white matter hyperintensities (WMH) in 3D brain MR images, using a fully convolutional network (FCN) and transfer learning. This FCN is the Visual Geometry Group neural network (VGG for short) pre-trained on ImageNet for natural image classification, and fine tuned with the training dataset of the MICCAI WMH Challenge. We consider ...
متن کاملDeeply Supervised Multi-Scale Fully Convolutional Networks for Segmentation of White Matter Hyperintensities
We present a method to address the challenging problem of segmentation of White Matter Hyperintensities (WMH) from multimodality MR images (T1 and FLAIR). Our method is based on deeply supervised multi-scale fully convolutional networks (FCNs), that are executed in two sequential stages and can directly map a whole volumetric data to its volume-wise labels. In order to alleviate the potential g...
