A 3-D Morphological Algorithm for Automated Labelling of the Cortex in Magnetic Resonance Brain Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we describe a new method for auto~atic eztraction and anatomic labelling of the cortical urface in Magnetic Resonance (MR) images of the uman brain. Our algorithm consists of a series of morphological operations which automatically find the ortical surface and detect sulci in an MR volume imge. The extracted surface points are labelled as Usulusn or "not sulcus".

Background: Brain tissue segmentation for delineation of 3D anatomical structures from magnetic resonance (MR) images can be used for neuro-degenerative disorders, characterizing morphological differences between subjects based on volumetric analysis of gray matter (GM), white matter (WM) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), but only if the obtained segmentation results are correct. Due to image arti...

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...
