Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study was to develop an automated method of segmenting the cerebrum, cerebellum-brain stem, and temporal lobe simultaneously on magnetic resonance (MR) images.

Methods and materials: We obtained T1-weighted MR images from 10 normal subjects and 19 patients with brain atrophy. To perform automated volumetry from MR images, we performed the following three steps: (1) segmentation of the brain region; (2) separation between the cerebrum and the cerebellum-brain stem; and (3) segmentation of the temporal lobe. Evaluation was based on the correctly recognized region (CRR) (i.e., the region recognized by both the automated and manual methods).

Results: The mean CRRs of the normal and atrophic brains were 98.2% and 97.9% for the cerebrum, 87.9% and 88.5% for the cerebellum-brain stem, and 76.9% and 85.8% for the temporal lobe, respectively.

Conclusion: We introduce an automated volumetric method for the cerebrum, cerebellum-brain stem, and temporal lobe on brain MR images. Our method can be applied to not only the normal brain but also the atrophic brain.

在脑磁共振图像上对大脑、小脑-脑干和颞叶进行半自动化体积测量。

目的:本研究的目的是开发一种在磁共振(MR)图像上同时分割大脑、小脑-脑干和颞叶的自动方法。方法与材料:对10例正常人和19例脑萎缩患者进行t1加权磁共振成像。为了从MR图像中进行自动体积测量，我们执行了以下三个步骤:(1)分割大脑区域;(2)大脑与小脑-脑干分离;(3)颞叶分割。评估基于正确识别的区域(CRR)(即自动和手动方法同时识别的区域)。结果:正常脑和萎缩脑的平均crr分别为:大脑98.2%和97.9%，小脑-脑干87.9%和88.5%，颞叶76.9%和85.8%。结论:我们介绍了一种在脑MR图像上对大脑、小脑-脑干和颞叶进行自动体积测量的方法。该方法不仅适用于正常脑，也适用于萎缩脑。
