# Multi-Center CNN-based spine segmentation from T2w MRI using small amounts of data |
|
|
|
Pre-trained weights and exported models for our spine segmentation project. |
|
The source code, designed to reproduce our test results and facilitate training and running inference on your own data, is available on GitHub: https://github.com/MMIV-ML/fastMONAI/tree/master/research |
|
|
|
## Requirements |
|
Last checked and validated with fastMONAI version 0.3.2. Please ensure that you have the correct version of fastMONAI installed to guarantee the correct operation of the model. |

|
- Echo Time: 95 ms |
|
- Number of Acquisitions: 1 |
|
|
|
### Data Annotation |
|
- **Process**: Manual segmentation of vertebrae |
|
- **Experts**: Conducted by an MRI expert with consensus from a senior radiologist |
|
- **Software**: ITK-SNAP |
|
- **Scope**: Segmented vertebrae in all slices, including bone marrow but excluding vertebral cortex |
|
|
|
### External Data Evaluation |
|
|
|
- **Source**: [Annotated T2-weighted MR images of the Lower Spine](https://zenodo.org/record/22304) |
|
- **Scan Specifications**: 23 scans, 1.5 T in sagittal orientation |
|
- **Segments**: Seven vertebrae are manually segmented on each image (Th11–L5) |
|
- **Modification**: Th11 manually removed for consistency with the annotation for SUH and HUH. |
