CLARET: A Tool for Fully Automated Evaluation of MRSI with Pattern Recognition Methods
نویسندگان
چکیده
Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic Imaging (MRSI) measures relative concentrations of metabolites in vivo and can thus be used for the diagnosis of certain tumors. We introduce the program CLARET that makes MRSI accessible for clinical routine use. Instead of embarking on an error-prone quantification of metabolites that requires manual checking of the results in many voxels, the program uses pattern recognition methods to directly compute tumor probability maps. Furthermore, non-evaluable signals are identified and masked out. The user can thus save time and concentrate on suspicious regions only.

Besides the diagnostic evaluation of a spectrum, the assessment of its quality and a check for plausibility of its information remains a highly interactive and thus time-consuming process in MR spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) data analysis. In the automation of this quality control, a score is proposed that is obtained by training a machine learning classifier on a representative set of spectra th...
