Abstract:In brain magnetic resonance images (brain MRI) analysis, for diagnosing certain brain conditions, it is necessary to quantify the brain tissue, which implies to separate the brain from extracranial or non-brain tissues through a process of isolation known as skull stripping. This is a non-trivial task since different types of tissues may have the same gray level, and during the separation process, some brain tissues could be removed. This paper presents a new solution approach for the skull stripping problem, … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
