Abstract

In this paper, we apply computer science and software engineering techniques in, and bring benefits to, real-life applications. Specifically, we propose a design for a computeraided change detection system, which uses both image processing and data mining techniques, to help clinicians diagnose bleeding in children's brains---i.e., in medical terms, paediatric acute intracranial haemorrhage (AIH). The proposed system provides clinicians with computerized analysis of medical images in the form of computed tomography (CT) scans of the heads of children patients. This, in turn, leads to more efficient detection, diagnosis, and progress evaluation of paediatric AIH.
