Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Precise delineation of brain tissues, including lesions, in MR images is crucial for data analysis and objectively assessing conditions like neurological disorders and brain tumors. Existing methods for tissue segmentation often fall short in addressing patients with lesions, particularly those with brain tumors. This study aimed to develop and evaluate a robust pipeline utilizing convolutional neural networks for rapid and automatic segmentation of whole brain tissues, including tumor lesions.
