Abstract
A method is proposed for three-dimensional (3-D) texture analysis of magnet ic resonance imaging brain datasets, It is based on extended, multisort co- occurrence matrices that employ intensity, gradient and anisotropy image fe atures in a uniform way. Basic properties of matrices as well as their sens itivity and dependence on spatial image scaling are evaluated. The ability of the suggested 3-D texture descriptors is demonstrated on nontrivial clas sification tasks for pathologic findings in brain datasets.
