A FAST AND ROBUST METHOD FOR VOLUMETRIC MRI BRAIN EXTRACTION

Sami Bourouis, Kamel Hamrouni

2008

Abstract

This paper presents a method for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) segmentation and the extraction of main brain tissues. The method uses an image processing technique based on level-set approach and EM-algorithm. The paper describes the main features of the method, and presents experimental results with real volumetric images in order to evaluate the performance of the method.
