Histogram-based gravitational optimization algorithm on single MR modality for automatic brain lesion detection and segmentation

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose a new fully automatic method to detect and segment brain lesions.

• The method is based on enhanced gravitational optimization algorithm.

• Ischemic stroke lesions are segmented with 91.5% accuracy and 91.1% sensitivity.

• The algorithm is independent of multi-spectral MRI, and local or global registration.

• It is practically applicable due to computational efficiency and handling noisy data.
