Deep learning-based thigh muscle segmentation for reproducible fat fraction quantification using fat–water decomposition MRI

Abstract Background Time-efficient and accurate whole volume thigh muscle segmentation is a major challenge in moving from qualitative assessment of thigh muscle MRI to more quantitative methods. This study developed an automated whole thigh muscle segmentation method using deep learning for reprodu...
