BRAIM: A computer-aided diagnosis system for neurodegenerative diseases and brain lesion monitoring from volumetric analyses.

Neurological disorders are one of the most common health problems of the population that negatively affect their individual autonomy and well-being. Besides the physiological aging and natural cognitive decline, numerous diseases such as Parkinson disease, Multiple Sclerosis, and many common processes in the adult population (i.e. infections, neoplasms, systemic diseases, drug consumption, etc.) can adversely affect cognitive functions both acute or chronically [1,2]. Regardless etiology, in all cases an early diagnosis is crucial to proceed with appropriate therapeutic measures in order to improve patients quality of life and/or moderate the development of clinical complications [3 –5].
