Automatic Detection of 3D Breast Lesions in Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MR Images
Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) is being increasingly used in the clinic as an adjunct to x-ray mammography and ultrasound for the detection and characterisation of breast cancer. The technique involves acquiring T1-weighted volume images of one or both breasts before and at several time points after the injection of a contrast agent. Interpretation of this 4D dat...
متن کاملRobustness of Morphologic Features for the Characterization of Mass Lesions in Dynamic, Contrast-Enhanced Breast MR Images
1. Purpose Dynamic contrast enhanced breast MRI (DCE BMRI) has emerged as tool for breast cancer diagnosis. While DCE BMRI is known to have a high sensitivity studies show a limited specificity of the method, leading to a large number of benign lesions being biopsied. The present paper is part of an effort to address the clinical demand for computer-aided diagnosis tools to support radiologists...
متن کاملSegmentation and Classification of Breast Tumor Using Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MR Images
Accuracy of automatic cancer diagnosis is largely determined by two factors, namely, the precision of tumor segmentation, and the suitability of extracted features for discrimination between malignancy and benignancy. In this paper, we propose a new framework for accurate characterization of tumors in contrast enhanced MR images. First, a new graph cut based segmentation algorithm is developed ...
متن کاملQuantification of blood-brain-barrier permeability dysregulation and inflammatory activity in MS lesions by dynamic-contrast enhanced MR imaging
Objective: Measurement of blood-brain permeability dysfunction in active and chronic MS lesions with T1-weighted dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI to show variation in inflammatory activity Background: blood-brain-barrier perfusion characterization impaired in MS as some studies have shown recently buta comparison between perfusion parameters in contrast-enhanced and non-enhanced lesions not have ...
متن کاملIntensity-Based Volumetric Registration of Contrast-Enhanced MR Breast Images
In this paper, we propose a fast intensity-based registration algorithm for the analysis of contrast-enhanced breast MR images. Motion between pre-contrast and post-contrast images has been modeled by a combination of rigid transformation and free-form deformation. By modeling the conditional probability function to be Gaussian and considering the normalized mutual information (NMI) criterion, ...
