AI Article Synopsis
- The analysis of colonic contents is essential for gastroenterologists and has various clinical uses.
- T2 weighted MRI images can effectively segment the colonic lumen, while T1 weighted images allow for the distinction of fecal and gas contents.
- This paper introduces a quasi-automatic framework for accurately segmenting the colon in both T1 and T2 images, ultimately helping physicians understand diet effects and abdominal distension mechanisms.
Article Abstract
The analysis of colonic contents is a valuable tool for the gastroenterologist and has multiple applications in clinical routine. When considering magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) modalities, T2 weighted images are capable of segmenting the colonic lumen, whereas fecal and gas contents can only be distinguished in T1 weighted images. In this paper, we present an end-to-end quasi-automatic framework that comprises all the steps needed to accurately segment the colon in T2 and T1 images and to extract colonic content and morphology data to provide the quantification of colonic content and morphology data. As a consequence, physicians have gained new insights into the effects of diets and the mechanisms of abdominal distension.
