摘要：
Methods and systems process an MRI image to detect cancer. A method includes forming a series of binary threshold intensity images from an MRI image of a patient. Each of the binary threshold intensity images is based on a respective intensity. The binary threshold intensity images are processed to identify one or more bright extremal regions in which image pixels have the same value, and for which corresponding image pixels in the MRI image have a higher intensity than surrounding image pixels in the MRI image. One or more bright maximally stable extremal regions are selected from the identified bright extremal regions based on change in area of one or more respective bright extremal regions for different binary threshold images in the series. At least one of the selected one or more bright maximally stable extremal regions may be identified as potentially cancerous.
