Automatic brain lesion segmentation on standard magnetic resonance images: a scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Medical image analysis practices face challenges that can potentially be addressed with algorithm-based segmentation tools. In this study, we map the field of automatic MR brain lesion segmentation to understand the clinical applicability of prevalent methods and study designs, as well as challenges and limitations in the field.

Design

Scoping review.

Setting

Three databases (PubMed, IEEE Xplore and Scopus) were searched with tailored queries. Studies were included based on predefined criteria. Emerging themes during consecutive title, abstract, methods and whole-text screening were identified. The full-text analysis focused on materials, preprocessing, performance evaluation and comparison.
