AUTOMATED MIDLINE SHIFT DETECTION ON BRAIN CT IMAGES FOR COMPUTER-AIDED CLINICAL DECISION SUPPORT
Midline shift (MLS), the amount of displacement of the brain’s midline from its normal symmetric position due to illness or injury, is an important index for clinicians to assess the severity of traumatic brain injury (TBI). In this dissertation, an automated computer-aided midline shift estimation …

Automated Measurement of Midline Shift in Brain CT Images and its Application in Computer-Aided Medical Decision Making
… injury (TBI) is known to be characterized by the shift of the middle line in brain as the ventricular system often changes in size and position, depending on the location of the original injury. In this thesis, the focus is given to processing of the CT (Computer Tomography) brain images to …
