Quantification and classification of Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy data and applications to brain tumour recognition (2005)
Abstract / truncated to 115 words
The medical diagnosis of brain tumours is one of the main applications of Magnetic Resonance. Magnetic Resonance consists of two main branches: Imaging and Spectroscopy. Magnetic Resonance Imaging is very well-known as the radiologic technique applied to produce high-quality images of tissues, such as the brain tissue, for diagnostic purposes. Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy provides chemical information about all the molecules present in the brain, such as their concentrations. Both Imaging and Spectroscopy can be exploited for the grading and typing of brain tumours, also called the classification of brain tumours. As first topic, this thesis mainly studied the contribution of Spectroscopy for automated classification and the influence of several factors on the classification performance. It ...
