An Improved MRI Segmentation for Atrophy Assesment
An efficient brain segmentation technique of magnetic resonance image (MRI) is proposed for the sake of atrophy detection. Early detection of brain atrophy indicates many neurodiseases. The paper also proposes a new simple assessment for brain atrophy as an atrophy ratio measure. Experiments on cognitive normal and atrophied MRI Brain images demonstrate the promising segmentation results of the proposed method that yields more accurate segmentation results than the existing segmentation methods as well as a good early detection and assessment for brain atrophy.
