Segmentation of Magnetic Resonance Brain Imaging Based on Graph Theory
Introduction: Segmentation of brain images especially from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an essential requirement in medical imaging since the tissues, edges, and boundaries between them are ambiguous and difficult to detect, due to the proximity of the brightness levels of the images. Material and Methods: In this paper, the graph-base...
متن کاملLine Scan Proton Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic Imaging
This thesis explores magnetic resonance (MR) imaging methodologies that provide in vivo spectroscopic information. To date such information has not been routinely acquired and used in diagnosis. The general objective of the thesis is to develop and implement new and fast MR spectroscopic imaging techniques that can be practically utilized to study spectroscopic information in vivo. This thesis ...
متن کاملPediatric Brain Tumors: Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic Imaging
The incidence of cancer in the United States in children under 15 years of age has risen in recent years (Ries et al., 1991). This is largely due to the increased incidence of lymphoblastic leukemia and tumors of the brain and nervous system, as opposed to Wilms tumors, soft tissue and bone sarcomas, lymphomas and Hodgkin's disease or other malignancies of childhood. Between 1973 and 1988, the ...
متن کاملFast Segmentation of Brain Magnetic Resonance Tomograms
We describe a combination of a region growing and a watershed algorithm optimized for the detection of homogeneous structures in magnetic resonance (MR) volume datasets. No prior knowledge is used except a segment model. The adaptation to different data sets is controlled by parameters which can be determined interactively due to the high speed of the algorithm. Results are shown for the segmen...
