Axis-Guided Quality Assessment and Multi-label Hippocampal and Ventricular Segmentation in Low-Resolution Pediatric Brain MRI
摘要
The Swoop system of Hyperfine Inc. is an affordable, ultra-low-field MRI developed for use in a clinical setting. However, despite its advantages, the relatively low resolution of 64mT MRI data poses additional challenges, especially in examining small structures such as the hippocampus or vessels. As a part of our attempt at the Low field pediatric brain magnetic resonance Image Segmentation and Quality Assurance (LISA) Challenge 2024, we developed two deep learning-based models. First, to evaluate the image quality of 64mT T2 brain MRI data, we implemented an axis classifier module to improve the model performance. Second, for segmentation of the hippocampus in the MRI, a multi-label learning method was used for more accurate segmentation. With these models, we expect to alleviate the accessibility barrier to brain MRI.
