What is it about?
The intensity-curvature measurement approaches (ICMAs) are images resampled from MRI. The ICMA images are calculated fitting a model polynomial function to the MRI. Each image has is own visualization improvement characteristic which highlight a specific aspect of the MRI image. The combination of the ICMAs into a single mask provides a filter able to help vessels visualization in MRI.

Why is it important?
For the first time the ICMA images are group together under as single mask. The single mask uses the intensity-curvature concept: to merge together image intensity and second order partial derivatives of the model function fitted to the MRI image. The new domain is the intensity-curvature domain and is an effective image space and k-space filter.
Perspectives
The perspective is to contribute four additional domains (all derived from the intensity-curvature concept) where to see and study MRI of human brain. An immediate application is the visualization of vessels in MRI through the masking procedure, which groups the 4 ICMA images; or through the mask derived from the combination of the 4 ICMAs.
