DOCTORAL THESIS: Automated brain structure segmentation in magnetic resonance images of multiple sclerosis patients.

By Sandra González Villà Supervised by Dr. Xavier Lladó Bardera  / Dr.  Arnau Oliver Malagelada   Abstract This thesis is focused on the automated segmentation of the brain structures in magnetic resonance images, applied to multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. This disease is characterized by the presence of demyelinating lesions in the brain, that appear as focal low signal intensity areas in the T1-weighted sequence, which is the most frequently used…

New article: Supervised Domain Adaptation for Automatic Sub-cortical Brain Structure Segmentation with Minimal User Interaction

In recent years, the deep learning based methods achieved the state of the art for medical image segmentation. However, these methods are sensitive to image intensity distribution changes such as different MRI scanner or protocol. Therefore, a neural network has to be retrained to perform similarly in other datasets. In this paper, we investigated the use of transfer learning strategy to overcome the changes in the data distribution. We reduced…
