A mixture of pattern recognition and expert system techniques are used to segment human brain images into tissue types of
interest. The tissue types of interest are gray matter, white
matter, cerebro-spinal fluid, tumor, edema and necrosis. The
goal is to do each segmenation without human interaction.
A Magnetic Resonance Image slice of the brain. It has been segmented into
tissue regions by a knowledge guided clustering system developed in the ISL.
Red is white matter, orange is gray matter, yellow is csf, green edema and
gray denotes tumor.
