Robust Segmentation of the Full Cerebral Vasculature in 4D CT of Suspected Stroke Patients.

abstract：:A new approach to estimate the Shannon entropy of a long-range correlated sequence is proposed. The entropy is written as the sum of two terms corresponding respectively to power-law (ordered) and exponentially (disordered) distributed blocks (clusters). The approach is illustrated on the 24 human chromosome sequences...
