Synopsis

Sodium MRI yields metabolic information about the brain and might indicate existing or emerging pathologies. Often this information is to be determined in a certain region-of-interest (ROI). These ROIs can be, for example, all grey or white matter regions, or more specific sub-regions thereof and it is important to predict these ROIs without bias. Here, an approach to obtain well segmented ROIs is presented based on a deep neural network architecture.

How to access this content:

For one year after publication, abstracts and videos are only open to registrants of this annual meeting. Registrants should use their existing login information. Non-registrant access can be purchased via the ISMRM E-Library.

After one year, current ISMRM & ISMRT members get free access to both the abstracts and videos. Non-members and non-registrants must purchase access via the ISMRM E-Library.

After two years, the meeting proceedings (abstracts) are opened to the public and require no login information. Videos remain behind password for access by members, registrants and E-Library customers.
