Medical image recognition of the white and gray matters of the brain by radial basis function (RBF) neural network

Abstract

In this study, we applied the radial basis function (RBF) neural network to the medical image recognition of the white and gray matters of the brain. This neural network has the three layered architecture that is constructed with the input layer, the hidden layer and the output layer. The regions of the white and gray matters of the brain are recognized and extracted by the RBF neural network and the volumes of these areas are calculated.
