Signal formulation, segmentation, and lesion volume estimation in magnetic resonance images

In this dissertation we present a new approach to estimate the volume of ischermic stroke lesions using magnetic resonance imagery (MRI). The approach is hierarchical, regularized, and guided by statistical theory, resulting in a confidence map for the lesion itself and a confidence interval for the...
