Automatic Pipeline for Segmentation of LV Myocardium on Quantitative MR T1 Maps using Deep Learning Model and Computation of Radial T1 and ECV Values. Jafari, R., et al. NMR in Biomedicine (2024).

 

Native T1 mapping is a non-invasive technique used for early detection of diffused myocardial abnormalities, and it provides baseline tissue characterization. Post-contrast T1 mapping enhances tissue differentiation, enables extracellular volume (ECV) calculation, and improves myocardial viability assessment. Accurate and precise segmenting of the left ventricular (LV) myocardium on T1 maps is crucial for assessing myocardial tissue characteristics and diagnosing cardiovascular diseases (CVD). This study presents a deep learning (DL) based pipeline for automatically segmenting LV myocardium on T1 maps and automatic computation of radial T1 and ECV values.

 

Automatic Multiclass Tissue Segmentation using Deep Learning in Brain MR images of Tumor Patients. Kandpal A, et al. (2024).

 

Precise delineation of brain tissues, including lesions, in MR images is crucial for data analysis and objectively assessing conditions like neurological disorders and brain tumors. Existing methods for tissue segmentation often fall short in addressing patients with lesions, particularly those with brain tumors. This study aimed to develop and evaluate a robust pipeline utilizing convolutional neural networks for rapid and automatic segmentation of whole brain tissues, including tumor lesions. The proposed pipeline Fig. Screenshot of 'Software Tool for Brain Tissue and Lesion Segmentation

 can accurately segment brain tissues and tumor lesions

 automatically and can be used as a standalone software solution for research and clinical applications.

                                                                            

Deep learning-based segmentation of left ventricular myocardium on dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI…: Jafari, R., et al. Int J CARS (2024). https://doi.org/10.1007/s11548-024-03221-z

 

Cardiac perfusion MRI is vital for disease diagnosis, treatment planning, and risk stratification, with anomalies serving as markers of underlying ischemic pathologies. This study proposed a fast and fully automated AI-assisted method to segment LV myocardium on all timeframes of DCE-MRI data. The method is robust, and its performance is independent of the intra-temporal sequence registration and can easily accommodate timeframes with potential registration errors.
