Medical Image Processing: Quantative Analysis on Brain Tumor MRIs
Abstract
Magnetic Resonance Images are an essential part of diagnosis and follow-up
treatment for patients with brain tumors. Usually two types of MRIs are
processed for quantification of tumor and edema volumes. For clinical
assessment, T1+Contrast images are used to asses tumor size and T2 for
edema. I will describe an approach to separating the edema from the tumor
core by processing both sets of images simultaneously using a process called
painting, improving the accuracy of edema volume as well as efficiency.
