A fully automatic workflow for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) lesion segmentation is described. Fully automatic means that no user interaction is performed in any of the steps and that all parameters are fixed for all the images processed in beforehand. Our workflow is composed of three steps: an intensity inhomogeneity (IIH) correction, skull-stripping and MS lesions segmentation. A validation comparing our results with two experts is done on MS MRI datasets of 24 MS patients from two different sites.

This paper presents a new fully automatic method for segmentation of brain images that possess multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions. Multichannel magnetic resonance images are used to delineate multiple sclerosis lesions while segmenting the brain into its major structures. The method is an atlas based segmentation technique employing a topological atlas as well as a statistical atlas. An advantage of this approach is that all segmented structures are topologically constrained, thereby allowing subsequent processing with cortical unfolding or diffeomorphic shape analysis techniques. Validation on data from two studies demonstrates that the method has an accuracy comparable with other MS lesion segmentation methods, while simultaneously segmenting the whole brain.
