Training of a Skull-Stripping Neural Network with efficient data augmentation
Skull-stripping methods aim to remove the non-brain tissue from acquisition of brain scans in magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Although several methods sharing this common purpose have been presented in literature, they all suffer from the great variability of the MR images. In this work we propose a novel approach based on Convolutional Neural Networks to automatically perform the brain extraction obtaining cutting-edge performance in the NFBS public database. Additionally, we focus on the efficient training of the neural network designing an effective data augmentation pipeline. Obtained results are evaluated through Dice metric, obtaining a value of 96.5%, and processing time, with 4.5s per volume.

Fast Infant MRI Skullstripping with Multiview 2D Convolutional Neural Networks
Skullstripping is defined as the task of segmenting brain tissue from a full head magnetic resonance image~(MRI). It is a critical component in neuroimage processing pipelines. Downstream deformable registration and whol…
Brain SegmentationSingleStrip: learning skull-stripping from a single labeled example
Deep learning segmentation relies heavily on labeled data, but manual labeling is laborious and time-consuming, especially for volumetric images such as brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). While recent domain-randomi…
FRNET: Flattened Residual Network for Infant MRI Skull Stripping
Skull stripping for brain MR images is a basic segmentation task. Although many methods have been proposed, most of them focused mainly on the adult MR images. Skull stripping for infant MR images is more challenging due…
