Segmentation of large brain lesions.

Segmentation of large brain lesions.

This paper describes a region-growing algorithm for the segmentation of large lesions in T 1-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) images of the head. The algorithm involves a gray level similarity criterion to expand the region and a size criterion to prevent from over-growing outside the lesion. The pe...
