MS has traditionally been thought to be primarily a T-cell mediated disease‚ however‚ more recent studies implicate B cells in the pathogenesis as well (Knippenberg et al 2011). Additionally‚ low vitamin D levels is a modifiable risk factor that is associated with development and

Imagine being able to detect diseases in your body‚ or being able to examine various tissues and determine its conditions. That is exactly what an positron emission tomography (PET) scan is used for.

To obtain this information‚ a very small dose of a radioactive chemical‚ called a radiotracer‚ is injected into the vein of the patient’s arm

Here we worked a different procedures for the training‚ preprocessing and vector quantization in the application to medical image segmentation and also present the segmentation results for multispectral 3D MRI data sets of the human brain with respect to the tissue classes “ Gray matter”‚ “ White matter” and “ Cerebrospinal fluid”. We correlate manual and semi automatic methods with the results. Keywords: Image analysis‚ Hebbian learning rule‚ Euclidean
