SUPERPOSITION DES IMAGES DE L'ATLAS DU CERVEAU ET DES IMAGES DU CERVEAU AVEC DELIMITATION DES REGIONS D'INFARCTUS ET DE PENOMBRE DANS LE DIAGNOSTIC D'UN ACCIDENT CEREBROVASCULAIRE
Brain images are processed and analyzed with the aid of a computer for stroke diagnosis or therapeutic decision making, where multiple stroke-related images are superimposed. The superimposed images include brain images that have infarct and penumbra regions, and patient-specific brain atlas images. The infarct and penumbra regions are determined and delineated on the superimposed images. Each patient-specific brain atlas image may be formed by mapping a pre-existing brain atlas to a co-ordinate system in which the brain images are co-registered. A brain atlas may depict brain structures such as anatomy structures, blood supply territories (BST), or cerebral vasculature. The superimposed images may be used to determine any overlap between a particular brain structure and the infarct and penumbra regions.
