    Geometric transform invariant Brain-MR image analysis for tumor detection
    (2013) Tom, A.; Jidesh, P.
    In this work we propose a translational, rotational and scaling invariant scheme for possible detection of tumors in Brain-Magnetic Resonance (MR) images. The method incorporates the features like shape, position and texture to accurately diagnose from the infected images. The geometric transformation invariant nature of the method helps in detecting the tumor in various scales, positions and orientations, at a better rate compared to the state-of-the art methods. The method combines three features (shape, position and texture) to form a feature vector, which is used for detecting the infected parts in the image. In order to improve the accuracy of detection process, we employ a preprocessing step to denoise and enhance the images. The result section details the analysis and results of the proposed method and highlights on the accuracy of the method to properly identify the tumor parts in an MR image. © 2013 IEEE.

    A new nonlocal maximum likelihood estimation method for denoising magnetic resonance images
    (2013) Rajan, J.; den Dekker, A.J.; Juntu, J.; Sijbers, J.
    Denoising of Magnetic Resonance images is important for proper visual analysis, accurate parameter estimation, and for further preprocessing of these images. Maximum Likelihood (ML) estimation methods were proved to be very effective in denoising Magnetic Resonance (MR) images. Among the ML based methods, the recently proposed Non Local Maximum Likelihood (NLML) approach gained much attention. In the NLML method, the samples for the ML estimation of the true underlying intensity are selected in a non local way based on the intensity similarity of the pixel neighborhoods. This similarity is generally measured using the Euclidean distance. A drawback of this approach is the usage of a fixed sample size for the ML estimation and, as a result, optimal results cannot be achieved because of over- or under-smoothing. In this work, we propose an NLML estimation method for denoising MR images in which the samples are selected in an adaptive way using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) similarity test. The method has been tested both on simulated and real data, showing its effectiveness. © Springer-Verlag 2013.
