چکیده

Background Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD) systems have been developing in the last years with aim of helping diagnosis and monitoring several diseases. We present a novel CAD system based on hybrid Watershed-Clustering algorithm for detection lesions Multiple Sclerosis. Methods Magnetic Resonance Imaging scans (FLAIR sequences without gadolinium) 20 patients affected by Sclerosis hyperintense were studied. The consisted following automated processing steps: images recording, segmentation Watershed algorithm, lesions, extraction both dynamic morphological features, classification Cluster Analysis. Results investigation was performed 316 suspect regions including 255 lesion 61 non-lesion cases. Receiver Operating Characteristic analysis revealed highly significant difference between non-lesions; diagnostic accuracy 87% (95% CI: 0.83–0.90), an appropriate cut-off 192.8; sensitivity 77% specificity 87%. Conclusions In conclusion, we developed using modified image which may discriminate MS from non-lesions. proposed method generates out-put that be support clinical evaluation.

Automated Detection of Multiple Sclerosis Lesions Using Texture-based Features and a Hybrid Classifier

Background: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is the most frequent non-traumatic neurological disease capable of causing disability in young adults. Detection of MS lesions with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the most common technique. However, manual interpretation of vast amounts of data is often tedious and error-prone. Furthermore, changes in lesions are often subtle and extremely unrepresentati...

Watershed based Detection of Multiple Sclerosis Lesions in MR Images

In this work an automatic method to discover multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions is presented. The technique makes use of an original implementation of the watershed based hierarchical segmentation algorithm applied to Magnetic Resonance (MR) images of the brain. The hierarchical approach is needed because of its merging phase where lesions are isolated from the over-segmented image produced by wat...

OPTIMIZATION OF FUZZY CLUSTERING CRITERIA BY A HYBRID PSO AND FUZZY C-MEANS CLUSTERING ALGORITHM

This paper presents an efficient hybrid method, namely fuzzy particleswarm optimization (FPSO) and fuzzy c-means (FCM) algorithms, to solve the fuzzyclustering problem, especially for large sizes. When the problem becomes large, theFCM algorithm may result in uneven distribution of data, making it difficult to findan optimal solution in reasonable amount of time. The PSO algorithm does find ago...
