Abstract
This PhD Thesis work has been devoted to several aspects of the processing of medical images based on the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technology. The work have been performed pursuing several lines of research that are somehow orthogonal. We started working on MRI denoising, removing intensity inhomogeneity effects. Then we have shifted our attention to the study of Alzheimer’s disease and its detection on structural MRI (sMRI). We have explored the application of statistical and Artificial Neural Networks classifiers to feature vectors extracted in an specific way from the sMRI brain volumes. Finally, we have explored the application of novel computational algorithms proposed by our research group to the analysis of functional MRI (fMRI). These latter techniques fall in the category of Lattice Computing algorithms, and our aim was to show that they can, at least, perform as well as other statistical techniques for the detection of activation patterns.
