چکیده

The anatomical structure of human brain is very complex. For diagnosing the presence of certain possible pathology, some times the surgeons have to navigate through each and every pixel to ascertain its possible association with a specific group of tissues. Due to the volume of MRIs because of its various views i.e. coronal, axial and sagital, practically, it is extremely difficult to carryout human visual inspection for deciding about the health of brain. Therefore, an efficient automatic system is need of the hour to perform this job with the highest possible degree of reliability and accuracy. This paper discusses the use of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) for the segmentation of brain MR images.

An Automated MR Image Segmentation System Using Multi-layer Perceptron Neural Network

Background: Brain tissue segmentation for delineation of 3D anatomical structures from magnetic resonance (MR) images can be used for neuro-degenerative disorders, characterizing morphological differences between subjects based on volumetric analysis of gray matter (GM), white matter (WM) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), but only if the obtained segmentation results are correct. Due to image arti...

Neural Network-Based Learning Kernel for Automatic Segmentation of Multiple Sclerosis Lesions on Magnetic Resonance Images

Background: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a degenerative disease of central nervous system. MS patients have some dead tissues in their brains called MS lesions. MRI is an imaging technique sensitive to soft tissues such as brain that shows MS lesions as hyper-intense or hypo-intense signals. Since manual segmentation of these lesions is a laborious and time consuming task, automatic segmentation ...
