Fuzzy clustering of CT images for the measurement of hydrocephalus associated with tuberculous meningitis. Abstract Text:

W Halberstadt,T Douglas,

Computed tomography is used as an aid in the diagnosis of tuberculous meningitis (TBM) for the examination of a number of visual indicators of the disease. We present an algorithm that uses modified fuzzy c-means clustering to segment CT images of the brain into different tissue types. The ventricle/brain ratio is then calculated to measure hydrocephalus, a common sign of TBM in children.
