- Abstract:
- Cerebral stroke is a cerebrovascular disease caused by an alteration of blood flow to the brain. Rodents are used to experiment with drugs provoking a stroke and studying the effects of different drugs as a measure of the relation of lesion volume to brain volume. Nowadays, clinicians are performing these experiments manually, leading to interhuman errors and not repeatability, of results, as well as being time-consuming tasks. This paper presents a methodology to automate this task, performing an automatic computation of the brain volume from the brain area for each slice of the rodent brain. Although in its initial state, results are very promising, and so work will follow in this way with the computation of lesion volume.
