Synopsis
MR scans are preferred by clinicians for liver pathology diagnosis over volumetric abdominal CT scans, due to their superior resolution for soft tissues. Nevertheless, deep learning based automated liver segmentation from abdominal MRI is challenging as the liver exhibits variable characteristics. This study investigates multiple state-of-the-art segmentation architectures (UNet, UNet++, and FPN) with varying encoder and decoder backbones. Here, T1 weighted MR images are investigated as it demonstrates brighter fat content. Among the investigated networks UNet++ with DenseNet backbone demonstrates top performance for the liver segmentation with a DSC and IoU of 94.3% and 91.0%, respectively.
