Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Deep learning based medical image analysis technologies have the potential to greatly improve the workflow of neuro-radiologists dealing routinely with multi-sequence MRI. However, an essential step for current deep learning systems employing multi-sequence MRI is to ensure that their sequence type is correctly assigned. This requirement is not easily satisfied in clinical practice and is subjected to protocol and human-prone errors. Although deep learning models are promising for image-based sequence classification, robustness, and reliability issues limit their application to clinical practice.
