Semi-automatic lesion detection in DWI scheme. (1) The atlas is registered to a DWI image; (2) The transformation found is used to register the organs and skeleton atlas to the DWI image. Then the lesion search area is obtained by removing the organs and selecting the skeleton and nearby areas; (3) Afterwards, an automatic threshold is applied to the image, enhancing possible lesions. The T1w intensities of these possible lesions are then compared to the average of the psoas muscle to remove possible false detections; (4) The final result is shown in pink
