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.
