Automated Vessel Exclusion Technique for Quantitative Assessment of Hepatic Iron Overload by R2*-MRI

BACKGROUND: Extraction of liver parenchyma is an important step in the evaluation of R2*-based hepatic iron content (HIC). Traditionally, this is performed by radiologists via whole-liver contouring and T2*-thresholding to exclude hepatic vessels. However, the vessel exclusion process is iterative,...
