A method for automated detection and classification of hypointense regions on T2-weighted MR images of the Basal Ganglia (BG) is presented. The detection includes the segmentation of the BG and the use of a normalized feature to detect hypointense regions. We validated our approach by comparing the automated results with a radiologists assessment of patient data, and found good agreement between these results.
