Accurate exclusion of kidney regions affected by susceptibility artifact in blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) images using deep-learning-based segmentation

Abstract Susceptibility artifact (SA) is common in renal blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) images, and including the SA-affected region could induce much error in renal oxygenation quantification. In this paper, we propose to exclude kidney regions affected by SA in gradient echo images with different echo times (TE), based on a deep-learning segmentation approach. For kidney […]
