title: Validation of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) multispectral tissue classification.
abstract: The application of NASA multispectral image processing technology for analysis of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans has been studied. Software and hardware capability has been developed, and a statistical evaluation of multispectral analysis application to MRI scans of the head has been performed.
