Synopsis

Keywords: Analysis/Processing, Segmentation, 3D mapping, joint T1/T2

Motivation: The significant amount of data collected from a single 3D whole-heart joint T1/T2 mapping sequence substantially increases the time required for segmenting and analyzing the quantitative maps, therefore, automating the segmentation process could result in a significant reduction.

Goal(s): To automate the segmentation of myocardium using state-of-the-art segmentation networks.

Approach: Two segmentation networks, nnUNet and MA-SAM, are trained and compared for myocardial segmentation of whole-heart joint T1/T2 mapping in healthy subjects and patients.

Results: nnUNET and MA-SAM achieved good quality segmentations with DICE score higher than ~0.856 with smoothed masks. nnU-Net achieved better results in term DICE and required the shortest training time.

Impact: State-of-the-art nnUNET and MA-SAM networks achieve accurate automatic myocardial segmentation of whole-heart joint T1/T2 mapping. This can significantly reduce the laborious task of manual segmentation and could help to accelerate the analysis and therefore the diagnosis of myocardium-related disease.
