The utility of automatic segmentation of kidney MRI in chronic kidney disease using a 3D convolutional neural network

Abstract We developed a 3D convolutional neural network (CNN)-based automatic kidney segmentation method for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) using MRI Dixon-based T1-weighted in-phase (IP)/opposed-phase (OP)/water-only (WO) images. The dataset comprised 100 participants with renal dysfunc...
