Model-Based Brain Tissue Classification

Several neuropathologies of the central nervous system such as multiple sclerosis (MS), schizophrenia, epilepsy, Alzheimer, and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) are related to morphological and/or functional changes in the brain. Studying such diseases by objectively measuring these changes instead of assessing the clinical symptoms is of great social and economical importance. These changes can be measured in three dimensions in a noninvasive way using current medical imaging modalities. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), in particular, is well suited for studying diseases of the nervous system due to its high spatial resolution and the inherent high soft tissue contrast.
