Abstract :
There are few studies on computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system for neonatal magnetic resonance (MR) images. In addition, because it is difficult to apply multiple examinations for neonate, we should maximize data which are derived from a set of MR images. Under these requirements, this paper introduces system of systems (SoS) framework into analysis of neonatal MR images. The present system called SoS-CAD for neonatal brain is composed from skull stripping system, brain shape homologous modeling system, gyral labeling system and cerebral contour extraction system. By collaborating the systems with each other, the SoS-CAD produces multiple numerical and geometrical data from a set of MR images.
