t his paper presents a new feature selection approach for automatically extracting   ms lesions in 3d mr images. presented method is applicable to different types of ms lesions. in this method, t1, t2 and flair images are firstly preprocessed. in the next phase, effective features to extract ms lesions are selected by using a genetic algorithm. the fitness function of the genetic algorithm is t...

introduction: multiple sclerosis (ms) is a demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (cns), affecting mostly young people at a mean age of 30 years. magnetic resonance imaging (mri) is one of the most specific and sensitive methods in diagnosing and detecting the evolution of multiple sclerosis disease. but it does not have the ability to differentiate between distinct histopathologic...

background: multiple sclerosis (ms) is an autoimmune inflammatory disease  that affects  the  central  nervous system. except tremor, other movement disorders such as parkinsonism are less frequent  in ms. however, some investigations  have shown inflammatory and autoimmune aspects of parkinson’s disease. in this study, we report eight new cases of ms who present parkinson’s disease. methods:  ...

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, typically progressive and most common autoimmune disease which damaged the central nervous system. According to the reports in 2008, this disorder has affected 2 and 2.5 million people globally. While the reason is not clear, proposed causes for this include immunologic, environmental, infectious and genetic factors, and sexuality. MS can cause ...
