Automatic Graph Cut Segmentation of Multiple Sclerosis Lesions
نویسندگان
چکیده
A fully automated segmentation algorithm for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) lesions is presented. Our method includes two main steps: the detection of lesions by graph cut initialized with a robust Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm and the application of rules to remove false positives. Our algorithm will be tested on the ISBI 2015 challenge longitudinal data. For each patient, a unique parameter set is used to run the algorithm.

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 ...
متن کاملMultiple Sclerosis Lesion Segmentation Using an Automatic Multimodal Graph Cuts
Graph Cuts have been shown as a powerful interactive segmentation technique in several medical domains. We propose to automate the Graph Cuts in order to automatically segment Multiple Sclerosis (MS) lesions in MRI. We replace the manual interaction with a robust EM-based approach in order to discriminate between MS lesions and the Normal Appearing Brain Tissues (NABT). Evaluation is performed ...

Background: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) syndrome is a type of Immune-Mediated disorder in the central nervous system (CNS) which destroys myelin sheaths, and results in plaque (lesion) formation in the brain. From the clinical point of view, investigating and monitoring information such as position, volume, number, and changes of these plaques are integral parts of the controlling process this dise...
