A statistical method is developed to classify tissue types and to segment the corresponding tissue regions from relaxation time T1, T2, and proton density P(D) weighted magnetic resonance images. The method assumes that the distribution of image intensities associated with each tissue type can be expressed as a multivariate likelihood function of three weighted signal intensity values (T1, T2, P(D)) at each location within that tissue regions. The method further assumes that the underlying tissue regions are piecewise contiguous and can be characterized by a Markov random field prior. In classifying the tissue types, the method models the likelihood of realizing the images as a finite multivariate-mixture function. The class parameters associated with the tissue types (i.e., the weighted intensity means, variances and correlation coefficients of the multivariate function, as well as the number of voxels within regions of the tissue types) are estimated by maximum likelihood. The estimation fits the class parameters to the image data via the expectation-maximization algorithm. The number of classes associated with the tissue types is determined by the information criterion of minimum description length. The method segments the tissue regions, given the estimated class parameters, by maximum a posteriori probability. The prior is constructed by the tissue-region membership of the first- and second-order neighborhood. The method is tested by a few sets of T1, T2, and P(D) weighted images of the brain acquired with a 1.5 Tesla whole body scanner. The number of classes and the associated class parameters are automatically estimated. The regions of different brain tissues are satisfactorily segmented.
