What is it about?
Automatic segmentation of cerebral hemispheres in magnetic resonance (MR) brain images help to quantify the brain asymmetry and correct several MR brain deformities. The detection of mid-sagittal plane (MSP) in human brain image is necessary to segment the hemispheres for both operator-based and automated brain image asymmetric analysis. In this article, a computationally simple and accurate technique to detect MSP in MRI human head scans using curve fitting is developed. The left and right hemispheres are segmented based on the detected MSP.

Why is it important?
Accurately segmenting the cerebral hemispheres is an important step in anaylzing brain abnormalities. The method proposed in this work accurately segmented the cerebral hemispheres based on the detected MSP in axial and coronal orientations of normal and pathological brain images.
