Method for detecting anomalous areas in the brain from MRI

IW-VBM method based on maximizing the use of magnetic resonance signal (MR) by more sensitive and accurate in detecting structurally altered brain areas parametric intensity maps # Stages. Filter each original MRI brain to reduce random noise and inhomogeneities associated with the acquisition of MRI generating a filtered (1) (D.30) image; segmenting by a segmentation algorithm filtered (1) image by obtaining a parametric probability map (3) of each tissue within the brain: SG gray matter (6), SB white matter (7) and cerebrospinal fluid CSF (8) ( D.31); multiplying each parametric probability map (3) for the filtered image (1) obtaining a parametric intensity map (4) for each tissue SG (6), SB (7) and LCR (8) (D.32); Parametric normalize intensity maps (4) (D.33), and smooth parametric standardized intensity maps (4) (D.34).
