Abstract
Objective This paper proposed a brain joint segmentation and classiifcation algorithm based on proton density (ρ) and relaxation time (T1) and (T2), instead of the acquired gray level image. Methods Estimation of proton density and relaxation time was made, then the approach exploited the statistical distribution of the involved signals in the complex domain; at last a novel method for identifying the optimal decision regions was proposed, which could achieve the ideal segmentation results.Results Both simulated and real datasets were evaluated by using different methods. Qualitative analysis showed that edges were well retrieved and small structures were preserved and completely clear. Quantitative evaluation results showed that the proposed segmentation algorithm in this paper could provide the best detection probability and false alarm probability. And it could acquire the maximal Dice coefifcient and Jaccard similarity indexes in case of different SNR (15~30 dB).Conclusion The proposed method based onρ,T1 andT2 maps was a feasible segmentation algorithm. And it could provide better robustness in the noise environment, intensity inhomogeneity and clinical applications, which was of great value in clinical popularization.关键词
