Abstract

The brain ventricular system can be often affected by different kinds of brain lesions. Using Hausdorff distance is a simple and effective method to detect various brain structures. In this chapter we develop a model to detect the ventricles using Hausdorff distance. The model is first generated using the boundary values of a ventricle. An image set of brain scans is produced, and the images are then compared with the model using the Hausdorff distance.
