Title
Efficient detection of cerebral microbleeds on 7.0 T MR images using the radial symmetry transform.
Abstract
Cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) are commonly detected on MRI and have recently received an increased interest, because they are associated with vascular disease and dementia. Identification and rating of CMBs on MRI images may be facilitated by semi-automatic detection, particularly on high-resolution images acquired at high field strength. For these images, visual rating is time-consuming and has limited reproducibility. We present the radial symmetry transform (RST) as an efficient method for semi-automated CMB detection on 7.0T MR images, with a high sensitivity and a low number of false positives that have to be censored manually.
