Attention-Based Segmentation of WMHs and Differentiation of Vascular vs. Demyelinating Lesions
White Matter Hyperintensities (WMHs) are commonly observed in brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans. They are associated with various neurological conditions, including vascular and inflammatory demyelinating diseases. Despite differing in etiology, WMHs from these conditions often appear similar on Fluid Attenuated Inversion Recovery (FLAIR) images. This similarity makes differential diagnosis challenging. In this work, we highlight the potential of combining attention-based segmentation with feature-driven classification. This approach supports more accurate and efficient classification between vascular and demyelinating white matter pathologies. For segmentation, we evaluate the...
