Online longitudinal MS lesion segmentation using FLAIR only images (FIFO Queue)


This pipeline uses the preprocessing steps from the boundary shift integral pipeline to detect new lesions, which are refined by a gradient boosting classifier. This version has been optimised for working with 3D FLAIR MR images. The baseline lesion segmentation needs to be provided and it can be computed using this tool.

The results will be sent to the following e-mail address:
