abstract:
Delayed brain atrophy, measured on
seriated MRI volumetric scans may represents an useful biomarker to predict the prognosis of these
patients because data coming from recent observations show relevant correlations between the amount of
WM atrophy and prognosis assessed by neuropsychological tests. Here we present a new graph-based
method for MRI brain segmentation, and its application to the problem of atrophy estimation for
prognostic inference.
