Illustrating the procedure of the proposed method with exemplary images. (a) The raw DWI. (b) The brain mask. (c) The region-of-interest map derived after the preclustering elimination in Step 3. (d) The FCM cluster map for the 50 clusters in Step 4. (e) Canny edge detection map. (f) The computer-assisted infarct segmentation result. (g) The detected infarct was mapped to raw DWI. (h) The ADC map. (i) The semiautomatically demarcated infarct regions by the experienced neurologist.
