Abstract

PURPOSE: An automated accurate segmentation for dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance (DCE-MR) image sequences is essential for quantification of renal function. A self-supervised strategy is proposed for fully automatic segmentation of the renal DCE-MR images without using manually labeled data.
