OASIS: Automated brain lesion detection using cross-sectional multimodal magnetic resonance imaging

This invention is a novel statistical method for automatically detecting lesions in cross-sectional brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies. OASIS uses multimodal MRI from one image acquisition session and produces voxel-level probability maps of the brain that quantifies the likelihood that each voxel is part of a lesion. Binary lesion segmentations are created from these probability maps using a validated population-level threshold. In this application, fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR), proton density (PD), T2-weighted, and Tl-weighted volumes were used. The OASIS lesion segmentations are robust to changes in imaging centers and scanning parameters.
