White matter hyperintensities segmentation: a new semi-automated method

White matter hyperintensities (WMH) are brain areas of increased signal on T2-weighted or fluid attenuated inverse recovery magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. In this study we present a new semi-automated method to measure WMH load that is based on the segmentation of the intensity histogram of...
