The Classification of In Vivo MR Spectra on Brain Abscesses Patients Using Independent Component Analysis

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) can obtain the tissues of in vivo non-invasively. Proton MR Spectroscopy uses the resonance principle to collect the signals of proton and transforms them to spectrums. It provides information of metabolites in patient¡¦s brain for doctors to observe the change of pathology. Observing the metabolites of brain abscess patients is most important process in clinical diagnosis and treatment. Then, doctors use different spectrums of echo time (TE) to enhance the accuracy in the diagnosis.
In our study, we use independent component analysis (ICA) to analyze MR spectroscopy. After analyzing, the independent components represent the elements which compose the input data. Then, we use the projection which is mentioned by Ssu-Ying Lu¡¦s Thesis to help us observe the relationship between independent components and spectrums of patients. We also discuss the result of spectrums with using ICA and PCA and discover some questions (whether it need to do scale normalization before inputting data or not, the result of scale normalization doesn¡¦t expect, and the peak in some independent components confuse us by locating in indistinct place) to discuss and to find possible reason after experiments.
