In the paper, we proposed a model called Adaptive Threshold Level Set Without Edge that is applied on the segmentation of GM in brain MR images. Threshold to find the boundary of GM is automatically obtained by fuzzy c mean algorithm. A similarity index (SI) is used for quantitative evaluation of the segmentation results. By testing 134 planar MR brain images and comparing to the gold standard ...

background access to appropriate images of fetal brain can greatly assist to diagnose of probable abnormalities. the aim of this study was to compare the suitability of t2-true fast imaging with steady state free precession (t2-trufi), and t2-half-fourier acquisition single-shot turbo spin-echo (t2- haste( magnetic resonance imaging (mri) to extract the fetal brain using the level set algorithm...

Segmentation plays a vital role in determining the tumor in brain MR Images. The analysis is done using multifractional Brownian motion (mBm) to devise the tumor in brain MR images. The spatially varying feature is extracted using mBm and corresponding algorithm. Then segmentation is carried out based on multifractal features. An algorithm for segmentation is proposed by modifying the well-know...

purpose: to record the mri features of primary central nervous system lymphoma (pcnsl) and compare these properties in monofocal and multifocal disease. methods: eleven cases of monofocal disease were compared to 9 cases of multifocal disease. all patients were examined by non-enhanced and contrast-enhanced mri. tumor location, signal intensity, enhancement characteristics, age distribution, pe...

Introduction: Nowadays, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in combination with computed-tomography (CT) is increasingly being used in radiation therapy planning. MR and CT images are applied to determine the target volume and calculate dose distribution, respectively. Since the use of these two imaging modalities causes registration uncertainty and increases department w...

In this paper, we present the region based hidden Markov random field model (RBHMRF), which encodes the characteristics of different brain regions into a probabilistic framework for brain MR image segmentation. The recently proposed TV+L model is used for region extraction. By utilizing different spatial characteristics in different brain regions, the RMHMRF model performs beyond the current st...

Introduction: Radiation therapy planning (RTP) is one of the clinical applications in which both CT scan and MRI are used. MR and CT images are applied to determine the target volume and calculation of dose distribution, respectively. In addition, using two imaging modalities increases the department workload and cost. In this study, an algorithm was presented to create synthet...

we report a patient diagnosed with whipple's disease (wd) who presented only with neurological symptoms. neuroimaging (mri) showed lesions with marked mass effect similar to infiltrative tumors, which were hypersignal on long tr and hyposignal on short tr images, located in several areas of the brain. in serial controls, lesions resolved with gliosis and atrophic changes as well as migration of...

background: central nervous system (cns) tumors have accounted for approximately one fourth of all pediatric malignancies. cns tumors have been the most common solid malignancies among the children. in this study, we have evaluated survival and prognostic factors in children with non-brain stem astrocytoma. methods: children with non-brain stem astrocytoma, referring to radiation oncology cente...
