Medical brain image analysis is a necessary step in computer-assisted/computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems. Advancements both hardware and software the past few years have led to improved segmentation classification of various diseases. In present work, we review published literature on systems algorithms that allow for classification, identification, detection white matter hyperintensities (...
