METHOD, APPARATUS AND COMPUTER SOFTWARE FOR SEGMENTING THE BRAIN FROM MR DATA

摘要

A method, apparatus and computer software which segments a brain in MR image data [S102] representing individual image slices of the brain. The method involves noise filtering [S104] the data, determining a first binary mask [S110] for volume data of the brain, determining second [S118] and third binary masks [S120] as appropriate and performing further processing for certain superior and inferior slices [S124].
