Automatic Brain Tumour Detection and Neovasculature Assessment with Multiseries MRI Analysis

Brain tumours belong to the group of tumours the most difficult to be treated as they often affect areas where the treatment of choice, namely the total tumour resection, is virtually impossible. Correct decisions concerning surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy planning strictly depend on the accuracy of tumour segmentation performed by a radiologist [1–3]. The task consists of outlining the suspected areas on each image, comparing and assessing the regions on multiple MR (Magnetic Resonance) series, marking the reference regions for calculations, etc.
