Summary
Fractal analysis is a reasonable choice in applications where natural objects are dealt with. Fractal dimension is an essential measure of fractal properties. Differential box-counting method was used for fractal dimension estimation of radiological brain images. It has been documented in this paper that this measure can be used for automatic classification of normal and pathological cases.
