This work presents an automatic brain MRI segmentation method which can classify brain voxels into one of three main tissue types: gray matter (GM), white matter (WM) and Cerebro-spinal Fluid (CSF). Intensity-model based classification of MR images has proven problematic. The statistical approach does not carry any spatial, textural and neighborhood information in it. We propose to use a computationally fast and novel feature-set to facilitate voxel wise classification based on regional intensity, texture, spatial location of voxels in addition to posterior probability estimates. Information available through T1-weighted (T1), T1-weighted inversion recovery (IR) and T2-weighted FLAIR (FLAIR) MRI sequences was also leveraged. An aggregate overlap of 90.21% for all intracranial structures was reported between the automatic classification and available expert annotation as measured by the DICE coefficient.

Reconstruction of the cerebral cortex from magnetic resonance (MR) images is an important step in quantitative analysis of the human brain structure, for example, in sulcal morphometry and in studies of cortical thickness. Existing cortical reconstruction approaches are typically optimized for standard resolution (~1 mm) data and are not directly applicable to higher resolution images. A new PDE-based method is presented for the automated cortical reconstruction that is computationally efficient and scales well with grid resolution, and thus is particularly suitable for high-resolution MR images with submillimeter voxel size. The method uses a mathematical model of a field in an inhomogeneous dielectric. This field mapping, similarly to a Laplacian mapping, has nice laminar properties in the cortical layer, and helps to identify the unresolved boundaries between cortical banks in narrow sulci. The pial cortical surface is reconstructed by advection along the field gradient as a geometric deformable model constrained by topology-preserving level set approach. The method’s performance is illustrated on exvivo images with 0.25–0.35 mm isotropic voxels. The method is further evaluated by cross-comparison with results of the FreeSurfer software on standard resolution data sets from the OASIS database featuring pairs of repeated scans for 20 healthy young subjects.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an incredible testing method which provides appropriate anatomical images of the body. For the diagnosis, high resolution MR images are essential to extract the detailed information about the diseases. However, with the measured MR images it’s a challenging issue in extracting the detailed information associated to disease for the posterior analysis or treatment. Usually to improve the resolution of the MR image, histogram equalization process has to be applied. In this paper, interpolation method is applied to improve the resolution of MR brain images for the histogram-ed images. And for the assessment of the skillfulness of introduced method, performance metrics such as peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) and absolute mean brightness error (AMBE) are measured. The peak of signal for the enhanced images through interpolation will be much better and may have the good variation to the mean brightness error. With this there can be potential to the artificial intelligence for better diagnosis in complex decisive instances

ABSTRACTUltra high-field MRI enables sub-millimetre resolution imaging of the human brain, allowing for the resolution of functional circuits at the meso-scale of cortical layers. An essential step in many functional and structural neuroimaging studies is segmentation, the operation of partitioning the MR brain images to delineate anatomical structures. Despite recent efforts in brain imaging analysis, the literature lacks of accurate and fast methods for segmenting 7 Tesla (7T) brain MRI. We here present CEREBRUM-7T, an optimised end-to-end Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture, that allows for the segmentation of a whole 7T T1w MRI brain volume at once, thus overcoming the drawbacks of partitioning the volume into 2D or 3D tiles. Training is performed in a weakly supervised fashion, exploiting labelling with errors obtained with automatic state-of-the-art methods. The trained model is able to produce accurate multi-structure segmentation masks on six different classes in only a few seconds. In the experimental part, a combination of objective numerical evaluations and subjective analysis carried out by experienced neuroimaging users, confirms that the proposed solution outperforms the training labels it was trained on in segmentation accuracy, and is suitable for neuroimaging studies, such as layer fMRI studies. Taking advantage of a fine-tuning operation on a reduced set of volumes, we also show how it is possible to efficiently and effectively apply CEREBRUM-7T to data from different sites. Furthermore, to allow replicability and encourage extensions, we release the code, 7T data (142 volumes), and other materials, including the training labels and the Turing test.

Abstract Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is an irreversible progressive neurodegenerative disorder. Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging based deep learning models with visualization capabilities are essential for the precise diagnosis of AD. In this study, an attempt has been made to categorize AD and Healthy Controls (HC) using structural MR images and an Inception-Residual Network (ResNet) model. For this, T1- weighted MR brain images are acquired from a public database. These images are pre-processed and are applied to a two-layer Inception-ResNet-A model. Additionally, Gradient weighted Class Activation Mapping (Grad-CAM) is employed to visualize the significant regions in MR images identified by the model for AD classification. The network performance is validated using standard evaluation metrics. Results demonstrate that the proposed Inception-ResNet model differentiates AD from HC using MR brain images. The model achieves an average recall and precision of 69%. The Grad- CAM visualization identified lateral ventricles in the mid-axial slice as the most discriminative brain regions for AD classification. Thus, the computer aided diagnosis study could be useful in the visualization and automated analysis of AD diagnosis with minimal medical expertise.

Fully automatic brain image classification of MR brain images is of great importance for research and clinical studies, since the precise detection may lead to a better treatment. In this work, an efficient method based on Multiple-Instance Learning (MIL) is proposed for the automatic classification of low-grade and high-grade MR brain tumor images. The main advantage of MIL-based approach over other classification methods is that MIL considers an image as a group of instances rather than a single instance, thus facilitating an effective learning process. The mi-Graph-based MIL approach is proposed for this classification. Two different implementations of MIL-based classification, viz. Patch-based MIL (PBMIL) and Superpixel-based MIL (SPBMIL), are made in this study. The combined feature set of LBP, SIFT and FD is used for the classification. The accuracies of low-grade–high-grade tumor image classification algorithm using SPBMIL method performed on [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and FLAIR images read 99.2765%, 99.4195% and 99.2265%, respectively. The error rate of the proposed classification system was noted to be insignificant and hence this automated classification system could be used for the classification of images with different pathological conditions, types and disease statuses.

Brain tumor is a life-threatening disease. Brain tumor is formed by the abnormal growth of cells inside and around the brain. Identification of the size and type of tumor is necessary for deciding the course of treatment of the patient. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is one of the methods for detection of tumor in the brain. The classification of MR Images is a difficult task due to variety and complexity of brain tumors. Various classification techniques have been identified for brain MRI tumor images. This paper reviews some of these recent classification techniques.
