Abstract

The aim of this study is to analyse the susceptibility-weighted magnetic resonance images (SWI) by using Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) as a global feature to identify areas of the neonatal brain affected by Hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE). 42 infants with neonatal HIE have undergone under SW imaging in the neonatal period and have been investigated through neurodevelopmental assessment at 24 months of age. HOG features are used to represent the whole brain SW images and the region of interest separated from the brain image registration algorithm. We use k-nearest neighbours (kNN) and random forest to classify the SWI images into normal and abnormal groups, and then we compare our results to our previous work. The result shows an effective classification, which achieved an accuracy of 76.25±10.9. Our research suggests that automated analysis of neonatal SWI images can identify brain regions affected by HIE on SWI images and predict motor and cognitive outcomes.
