Abstract : In this paper, we present an algorithm for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) lesion segmentation. Our method is fully automated and includes three main steps: 1. the computation of a rough total lesion load in order to optimize the parameter set of the following step; 2. the detection of lesions by graph cut initialized with a robust Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm; 3. the application of rules to remove false positives and to adjust the contour of the detected lesions. Our algorithm will be tested on the FLI 2016 MSSEG challenge data.
