We present an automated method to delineate chronic
ischemic stroke lesions, white-matter hyperintensities
and other secondary lesions from multimodal MRI.
Accurate delineation of such lesions is crucial in
analyzing the structure-function relationships of the
brain post-stroke and critical in the management of
stroke patients. The method firstly employed a maximum
aposteriori-Markov field based segmentation of the
probable lesion areas from hyperintense regions of FLAIR
images. Then features of these lesion areas from the
multimodal MRI were used to train/test a random forest
classifier. The performance was evaluated on 36 stroke
patients (mean Dice 0.60+/-0.12, volume correlation
0.76)
