This study introduces an automated method for whole brain segmentation in MRI scans using 2D graph searching. The technique offers accurate and stable results for clinical applications like surgical planning.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroimaging
  • Medical Image Analysis
  • Computational Neuroscience

Background:

  • Accurate whole brain segmentation in magnetic resonance (MR) images is crucial for neuroscience and medical research.
  • Existing automated segmentation methods face challenges with anatomical variability and pathological deformations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a novel, fully automated method for whole brain segmentation in MRI images.
  • To address limitations in current segmentation techniques, particularly concerning anatomical variability and deformation.

Main Methods:

  • The proposed method utilizes two-dimensional (2D) graph searching principles for border detection.
  • Whole brain segmentation is performed slice by slice, with automatic detection of frames containing eyes.
Keywords:
