P13. Semi-automatic, machine-learning based segmentation of peripheral nerves for quantitative morphometry: Comparison of low- and high-resolution MR neurography

Current state-of-the-art to diagnose peripheral neuropathy are neurological examination and electrodiagnostic studies. However, deeply situated nerves and plexus remain difficult to assess using these techniques, hence magnetic resonance neurography (MRN) emerged as a complementary method. MRN remains a qualitative approach and quantification, in terms of extraction of imaging biomarkers is needed to facilitate diagnosis and for follow-up examinations. Towards a multi-parametric quantitative imaging approach, accurate nerve segmentation needs to be performed first.
