Popis: | The intensity normalization step is essential, as it corresponds to the initial step in any subsequent computer-based analysis. In this work, a proposed intensity normalization approach based on a predictive modeling using multivariate linear regression (MLR) is presented. Different intensity normalization parameters derived from this model will be used in a linear procedure to perform the intensity normalization of 123 I-ioflupane-SPECT brain images. This proposed approach is compared to conventional intensity normalization methods, such as specific-to-non-specific binding ratio, integral-based intensity normalization and intensity normalization by minimizing the Kullback-Leibler divergence. For the performance evaluation, a statistical analysis is used by applying the Euclidean distance and the Jeffreys divergence. In addition, a classification task using support vector machine to evaluate the impact of the proposed methodology for the development of a computer aided diagnosis (CAD) system for Parkinsonian syndrome detection. |
