his paper presents brain lesion segmentation of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance images (DW-MRI or DWI) based on thresholding technique. The lesions are solid tumor, acute infarction, haemorrhage, and abscess. Pre-processing is applied to the DWI for normalization, background removal and enhanc...
