Synopsis

Keywords: Data Analysis, Body, Deep learning, DixonAutomated image processing and organ segmentation are critical to the quantitative analysis of population-scale imaging studies. We have implemented an end-to-end pipeline for neck-to-knee Dixon MRI data based on the UK Biobank abdominal protocol. Bias-field correction, blending across series boundaries, and fat-water swap correction are performed in the preprocessing steps. A hybrid attention-convolutional neural network model segments multiple abdominal organs, major bones, along with adipose and muscle tissue. The application of neural network models, to both swap detection and segmentation, produces a computationally-efficient pipeline that scales to accommodate tens of thousands of datasets.
