Background:

Brain lesion segmentation in MRI is crucial for diagnosis and treatment planning.
Complex textures in brain tumors (necrosis, edema, enhanced/nonenhanced tumor) pose segmentation challenges.
Existing methods may struggle with the intricate, spatially varying textures of brain pathologies.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and validate a multifractal texture analysis method for characterizing brain lesions in MRI.
To introduce multifractional Brownian motion (mBm) as a stochastic model for complex tumor textures.
To enhance the automatic segmentation of abnormal brain tissues using novel texture features.

Main Methods:

Formulation of a multifractional Brownian motion (mBm) stochastic model for brain tumor texture.
Development of an algorithm to extract spatially varying multifractal texture features.
Fusion of mBm texture features with other characteristics for improved tissue differentiation.
Feature-based classification for tissue segmentation.
Validation on a large-scale, multimodal (T1, T2, Flair, T1contrast) clinical dataset.

Main Results:

The proposed mBm multifractal texture feature effectively characterizes complex brain lesion textures.
Fusion of mBm features with other data enhanced tissue characteristics for segmentation.
The feature-based classification method achieved accurate segmentation of abnormal tissues.
Demonstrated efficacy in segmenting diverse abnormalities like necrosis, edema, and enhanced/nonenhanced tumors.

Conclusions:

Multifractional Brownian motion (mBm) provides a robust approach for multifractal texture estimation in brain MRIs.
The proposed technique significantly improves automatic segmentation of abnormal brain tissues.
This method holds promise for enhanced clinical diagnosis and treatment monitoring of brain pathologies.
