Quantitative texture analysis of brain white matter lesions derived from T2-weighted MR images in MS patients with clinically isolated syndrome.
INTRODUCTION This study investigates the application of texture analysis methods on brain T2-white matter lesions detected with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the prognosis of future disability in subjects diagnosed with clinical isolated syndrome (CIS) of multiple sclerosis (MS). METHODS Brain lesions and normal appearing white matter (NAWM) from 38 symptomatic untreated subjects diagn...
متن کاملcomparison of mr images for age determination; t1 weighted images (t1wi) versus t2* weighted images (t2*wi)
purpose t1wi (t1 weighted image) was acquired in order to grade bone fusion following the studies by fifa (federation internationale de football associations). research using images other than t1wi has not been reported. the aim of this study is to evaluate the grade of epiphyseal fusion by t2* weighted images (t2*wi) and to investigate new findings on t2*wi as compared with t1wi. methods a tot...
متن کاملBrain microhemorrhages detected on T2*-weighted gradient-echo MR images.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Multifocal microhemorrhages have been reported to be commonly found in the brain of patients with systemic hypertension and spontaneous brain hemorrhage. The factors associated with these lesions detected on T2*-weighted gradient-echo images were examined to determine whether these lesions serve to indicate different types of microangiopathy and to predict a patient's ris...
متن کاملTexture analysis of the ovarian lesions by CT scan images
Introduction: To explore diagnostic potential of computerize texture analysis methods in discrimination of the normal, benign and malignant ovarian lesions by CT scan imaging. Materials and Methods: Ovarian CT image database consists of 10 normal, 10 benign and 3 malignant which were reported by radiologist and proven by clinical examinat...
متن کاملTowards automatic segmentation of MS lesions in PD/T2 MR images
Recognizing that conspicuous multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions have high intensities in both dual-echo T2 and PDweighted MR brain images, we show that it is possible to automatically determine a thresholding mechanism to locate conspicuous lesion pixels and also to identify pixels that suffer from reduced intensity due to partial volume effects. To do so, we first transform a T2-PD feature space ...
