Resumo

Corpus callosum (CC) segmentation is an important first step of MRI-based analysis, however most available automated methods and tools perform its segmentation on the midsagittal slice only. Additionally, the few volumetric CC segmentation methods available work on T1-weighted images, what requires an additional step of registering the T1 segmentation mask over diffusion tensor images (DTI) when conducting any DTI-based analysis. This work presents a volumetric segmentation method of the corpus callosum using a modified U-Net on diffusion tensor data, such as Fractional Anisotropy (FA), Mean Difusivity (MD) and Mode of Anisotropy (MO). The model was trained on 70 DTI acquisitions and tested on a dataset composed of 14 acquisitions with manual volumetric segmentation. Results indicate that using multiple DTI maps as input channels is better than using a single one. The best model obtained a mean dice of 83,29% on the test dataset, surpassing the performance of available softwares. (AU)
