Supervised segmentation methods from three families of pattern recognition techniques were used to segment multispectral MRI data. Studied were the maximum likelihood method (MLM), k-nearest neighbors (k-NN), and a back-propagation artificial neural net (ANN). Performance was measured in terms of execution speed, and stability for the selection of training data, namely, region of interest (ROI) selection, and interslice and interpatient classifications. MLM proved to have the smallest execution times, but demonstrated the least stability. k-NN showed the best stability for training data selection. To evaluste the segmentation techniques, multispectral images were used of normal volunteers and patients with gliomas, the latter with and without MR contrast material. All measures applied indicated that k-NN provides the best results.
