  2. Motivation • TBI caused by an acute event • Severe damage to portions of the brain • TBI may cause severe disabilities - cognitive deflects, communication, mental health. • 1.7 million new cases of TBI in the U.S. each year • 50,000 deaths caused by TBI each year in the U.S. • Need for automatic tools for TBI clinical practice and patient monitoring

  3. MRI Imaging • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) • A medical imaging technique used in radiology to visualize internal structures of the body • Good contrast between the different soft tissues of the body • MRI uses non-ionizing radiation (unlike CT) • Different types of MRI scans: MP_RAGE, FLAIR, T1-weighted etc. • Expansive

  4. Literature survey • Main approaches for TBI detection: • Population based atlases • Symmetry based analysis • We chose the symmetry based approach • Doesn’t require statistical analysis of large data bases • More robust – age & population independent • Symmetry Axis detection: • Preprocessing – brain segmentation3 • PCA – Principal Component Analysis1,5 • PSD – Phase Based Symmetry detection1 • Gravitational torque4

  5. Literature survey • Symmetry Analysis • Gabor8,10 • Edge matching • Flow vector8 • Energy medians comparison (boxing)11 • Methods fusion • Active Contours12 [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_resonance_imaging#Other_specialized_MRI_techniques [2] http://www.na-mic.org/Wiki/index.php/DBP3:UCLA#What_is_traumatic_brain_injury.3F [3] L.
