Segmentation of T1-, T2-, and PD-Weighted MR Images

چکیده
Multimodal segmentation, like the physicians in practice, uses several images, representing different features of the object under investigation, to make segmentation decisions. In this paper, a multimodal twodimensional segmentation method is introduced. The principle of this method is the combination of multimodal region growing and multimodal edge detection. The combining condition is universally valid, using neither object-specific nor imaging-specific knowledge, so that a variety of segmentation tasks can be worked on.

A Weighted K-means Algorithm applied to Brain Tissue Classification
Tissue classification in Magnetic Resonance (MR) brain images is an important issue in the analysis of several brain dementias. This paper presents a modification of the classical K-means algorithm taking into account the number of times specific features appear in an image, employing, for that purpose, a weighted mean to calculate the centroid of every cluster. Pattern Recognition techniques a...

متن کاملWhite Matter Lesion Segmentation from Volumetric MR Images
White matter lesions are common pathological findings in MR tomograms of elderly subjects. These lesions are typically caused by small vessel diseases (e.g., due to hypertension, diabetes). In this paper, we introduce an automatic algorithm for segmentation of white matter lesions from volumetric MR images. In the literature, there are methods based on multi-channel MR images, which obtain good...
