Abstract :
A novel approach to the diffusion filtering of MR tomograms of the brain is proposed that is based on a model-based adaptive conductance using a priori information from the MR brain template atlas. It can be used in medical diagnostics for the enhancement and segmentation of MR brain tomograms
