Abstract
A method for detecting a cerebral infarct includes receiving an image of a brain of a subject from a magnetic resonance imaging scanner, wherein the image has a plurality of voxels, and each of the voxels has a voxel intensity. Then, the voxel intensities are normalized, wherein the normalized voxel intensities have a distribution peak, and the normalized voxel intensity of the distribution peak is I. A threshold is determined, which is the I+ a value. Voxel having the normalized voxel intensity larger than the threshold is selected, wherein the selected voxel is the cerebral infarct. A method for quantifying the cerebral infarct is also provided.
