The algorithm analyzes {3D} data sets, obtained as luminance level values representing the output from {MR} scans of the human brain. The data is organized as a voxel image, with a geometry representing a straightforward discretization of that of the brain under study. The only information available as to the category of a given voxel (gray matter, white matter, cerebro-spinal fluid, vascular tissue or background) is that of the luminance level. An automated segregation will suppress precisely the information sought by the present algorithm, while (time-consuming) human intervention would be tantamount to a solution of the problem addressed. The algorithms are developed with this limitation observed throughout." }
