Researchers have developed a network architecture for segmenting multiple sclerosis lesions from spatially inhomogeneous MRI data without resampling.
The network is based on the e3nn framework and leverages a spherical harmonic parameterization of convolutional kernels, allowing it to be resampled to input voxel dimensions.
The network outperformed a standard U-Net when tested on both 2D and most 3D cases of multiple sclerosis lesions.
The approach demonstrates the ability to learn from various combinations of voxel sizes and generalize well to testing cases with different image resolutions.
