  • Abstract
    This work presents the automatic method of pancreatic islets detection in magnetic resonance rat liver images. These islets are able to produce insuline and may be transplanted into human liver. This can be a new treatment method of type-1 diabetes mellitus. Analysis of MR islets images is necessary to estimate the islets tolerance and rejection rate. Proposed technique was compared and discussed to other approaches; sample analysis results were also presented.
