摘要
This work focuses on segmentation of magnetic resonance images of brain. The segmentation is based on assumption that in magnetic resonance images with high signal-to-noise ratio, the noise can be approximated by Gaussian. The method is tested on stand-alone simulated 2D MR images of healthy brain. The comparison between T1-weighted, T2-weighted and multi parametric images is performed. The proposed algorithm is used to segment brain images into three different tissues. For the proposed method, the best results were achieved for stand-alone T1-weighted images, while stand-alone T2-weighted images show the worst results. The achieved results slightly vary for particular tissue.
