Abstract :
Multi-slice computer tomography (CT) scans are widely used in todaypsilas diagnosis of head traumas. It is effective to disclose the bleeding and fractures. In this paper, we present an automated detection of CT scan slices which contain hemorrhages. Our method is robust towards various rotation, displacement and motion blur. Detection of these pathological slices will be useful for further diagnosis and retrieval.
