Segmentation of Magnetic Resonance Brain Imaging Based on Graph Theory
Introduction: Segmentation of brain images especially from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an essential requirement in medical imaging since the tissues, edges, and boundaries between them are ambiguous and difficult to detect, due to the proximity of the brightness levels of the images. Material and Methods: In this paper, the graph-base...
متن کاملAge independently affects myelin integrity as detected by magnetization transfer magnetic resonance imaging in multiple sclerosis
BACKGROUND Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a heterogeneous disorder with a progressive course that is difficult to predict on a case-by-case basis. Natural history studies of MS have demonstrated that age influences clinical progression independent of disease duration. OBJECTIVE To determine whether age would be associated with greater CNS injury as detected by magnetization transfer MRI. MATERI...
متن کاملMagnetization transfer magnetic resonance imaging and clinical changes in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis.
BACKGROUND Magnetization transfer (MT) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can provide in vivo quantitative estimates of microscopic tissue damage in normal-appearing white matter (NAWM) and gray matter (GM) from patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). OBJECTIVE To determine whether a one-time MT MRI can provide markers of short-term disease evolution in patients with relapsing-remitting MS. DE...
متن کاملA preliminary diffusion tensor and magnetization transfer magnetic resonance imaging study of early-onset multiple sclerosis.
BACKGROUND Early-onset multiple sclerosis (MS) typically has a more favorable course than adult-onset disease. OBJECTIVE To assess the extent of microscopic tissue damage in the brain and cervical cord of patients with early-onset MS. DESIGN During a single magnetic resonance imaging session, images of the brain and spinal cord were obtained using diffusion tensor and magnetization transfer...
