TUMORAL MASS DETECTION SYSTEM BASED ON MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING

摘要

A system for detecting tumoral masses in an unknown tissue is described, that can be coupled to an MRI system (2) for receiving a number of unknown tissue scans, each scan comprising a corresponding plurality of MRI images (Fi) relating to a group of voxels (45), each voxel (51) being associated with a corresponding portion of unknown tissue, the MRI images of each scan being indicative of values of at least a corresponding initial parameter. The detection system determines for each voxel a corresponding probability value, indicative of the probability of the corresponding portion of unknown tissue including a corresponding tumoral portion. Furthermore, the detection system determines, for a plurality of voxel groups, a corresponding group aggressiveness value, indicative of the aggressiveness of the tumoral mass formed by the tumoral portions present in the corresponding portions of unknown tissue.
