Research Abstract

The purpose of this study is to improve CAD schemes for detection of brain diseases by using anatomical locations as new features. The anatomical locations were obtained based on comparison with a reference image. The atlas of brain anatomy in visible Korea human project was employed as the reference image. By using anatomical locations, we improved(1) CAD scheme for distinguishing lacunar infarcts and Virchow Robin spaces, and(2) CAD scheme for detection of unruptured aneurysms in MRA image. In addition, we developed a SelMIP image as a new viewing technique in our CAD scheme for facilitating the radiologists in detecting small aneurysms.
