Abstract

Systematic analysis of white matter changes on magnetic resonance (MR) images has increased the diagnostic quality of MR interpretation. For that purpose, structural elements were defined, relevant to the distinction of disease groups. Per disease group histograms were obtained of the frequency of involvement of these structural elements. On the reverse, this database could be used as the basis of an expert system. Loaded with the data of a new case, the program comes up with a differential diagnosis and probability percentage with confidence intervals per diagnostic item. The program has helped in identifying MR patterns in rare disorders.
