abstract= {MRI MS DB Description:
In the IMT-Segmentation folder there are 38 folders representing data for each patient 38patients).
In each patient folder we have:
1) MRI TIFF Images from first and second examination (0 months, 6-12 months)
2) Lesion segmentations (*.plq files). The delineation/s can be loaded into matlab i.e load(file.plq, '-.mat'); Then points can be drawn on the image.

%How to load the point deliniations into MATLAB and plot them to the image.  
load('IM_00031_1.plq','-mat');
a=imread('IM_00031.tif');
figure, imshow(a), hold on, plot(yi,xi, 'LineWidth', 3), hold off;

Further download information for the database may be obtained by contacting Prof. Christos P. Loizou (panloicy@logosnet.cy.net).
