摘要：Skull stripping head magnetic resonance (MR) images is a classification problem, which is a difficult task due to the convoluted brain surface. This paper presents an automated, robust, and accurate brain volume extraction method (BVE)based on a combined image segmentation and bias estimation method (ISBEM) and a 3D mathematical morphology method. The ISBEM segments brain tissues efficiently and accurately, while estimating the bias field. The new 3D mathematical morphology method can remove the noncerebral tissues efficiently. The results show that our method can obtain more accurate results.
