UBO Detector

UBO Detector is a cluster-based white matter hyperintensity (WMH) extraction pipeline based on k-nearest neighbors (k-NN) algorithm, using T1-weighted and Fluid Attenuation Inversion Recovery (FLAIR) MRI sequences.

System Requirements

UBO Detector has been tested on both CentOS release 6.8 and macOS Sierra with the following software/toolboxes installed:

  • SPM12

  • FSL v5.0

  • MATLAB R2016a or above with the following toolboxes installed:

    • Image Processing Toolbox (ver 9.5 tested)
    • Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox (ver 11.0 tested)
    • Parallel Computing Toolbox (ver 6.9 tested)
