Texture analysis: a review of neurologic MR imaging applications.
Texture analysis describes a variety of image-analysis techniques that quantify the variation in surface intensity or patterns, including some that are imperceptible to the human visual system. Texture analysis may be particularly well-suited for lesion segmentation and characterization and for the longitudinal monitoring of disease or recovery. We begin this review by outlining the general procedure for performing texture analysis, identifying some potential pitfalls and strategies for avoiding them. We then provide an overview of some intriguing neuro-MR imaging applications of texture analysis, particularly in the characterization of brain tumors, prediction of seizures in epilepsy, and a host of applications to MS.
