Development of a Stand-Alone Independent Graphical User Interface for Neurological Disease Prediction with Automated Extraction and Segmentation of Gray and White Matter in Brain MRI Images

Figure 15

Visual comparison of two manual expert tracing-based and automatic segmentation (using the fully automatic segmentation method presented in this paper) results of sample patient 3 brain MRI image (see last row of Table 2 and Figure 16 for validation results that show the high accuracy and low error of the automatic segmentation method proposed in this research as compared to the two manual expert tracing-based segmentation results). (a) Original brain MRI image. (b) Gray matter region in original image. (c) White matter region in original image. (d) Gray matter: manual segmentation 1. (e) White matter: manual segmentation 1. (f) Gray matter: manual segmentation 2. (g) White matter: manual segmentation 2. (h) Gray matter region: automatic segmentation. (i) White matter region: automatic segmentation.
