Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a very effective medical imaging technique for the clinical diagnosis and monitoring of heurological disorders. Because of intensity similarities between brain lesions and normal tissues, multispectral MRI modalities are usually applied for brain lesion detection. However, the time and cost restrictions for collecting multi-spectral MRI, and the issue of possible errors from registering multiple MR images necessitate developing an automatic lesion detection approach that can detect lesions using a single anatomical MRI modality. In this paper, an automatic algorithm for brain stroke and tumor lesion detection and segmentation using single-spectral MRI is presented. The proposed algorithm, called histogram-based gravitational optimization algorithm (HGOA), is a novel intensity-based segmentation technique, which applies enhanced gravitationaloptimizationalgorithm on histogram analysis results. The mathematical descriptions as well as the convergence criteria of the developed optimizationalgorithm are presented in detail. Using this algorithm, brain is segmented into different number of regions, which will be labeled as lesion or healthy. Here, the ischemic stroke lesions and tumor lesions are segmented with 91.5% and 88.1% accuracy, respectively. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

In this paper, an automated and customized brain tumor segmentation method is presented and validated against ground truth applying simulated T1-weighted magnetic resonance images in 25 subjects. A new intensity-based segmentation technique called histogrambasedgravitationaloptimizationalgorithm is developed to segment the brain image into discriminative sections (segments) with high accuracy. While the mathematical foundation of this algorithm is presented in details, the application of the proposed algorithm in the segmentation of single T1-weighted images (T1-w) modality of healthy and lesion MR images is also presented. The results show that the tumor lesion is segmented from the detected lesion slice with 89.6% accuracy.
