sysuMediaWmhSegmentation: White matter hyperintensity segmentation

In ANTsX/ANTsRNet: Neural Networks for Medical Image Processing

White matter hyperintensity segmentation

Description

Perform WMH segmentation using the winning submission in the MICCAI 2017 challenge by the sysu_media team using FLAIR or T1/FLAIR. The MICCAI challenge is discussed in

Usage

sysuMediaWmhSegmentation(flair, t1 = NULL, useEnsemble = TRUE, verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

flair	input 3-D FLAIR brain image.
t1	input 3-D T1-weighted brain image (assumed to be aligned to the flair, if specified).
useEnsemble	boolean to check whether to use all 3 sets of weights.
verbose	print progress.

with the original implementation available here:

The original implementation used global thresholding as a quick brain extraction approach. Due to possible generalization difficulties, we leave such post-processing steps to the user. For brain or white matter masking see functions brainExtraction or deepAtropos, respectively.

Value

WMH segmentation probability image
