After spending a good amount creating deep neural models on Human brain MRI images. I’m here, letting you know What makes working with MRI data so tough ?
A sample Brain MRI from OASIS dataset
Listed below are the some of the reasons, which in my opinion makes MRI analysis hard
Data Size MRI data can be very large in size and handling and working with a large amount of MRI scans can be very difficult to manage
Different medical imaging modalities CT, MRI, PET all have varying principles, settings, and capabilities resulting in capturing distinct dimensions and features in the brain images.
Preprocessing the MRI image During the process of skull stripping using the bet2 tool from FSL, A significant portion of the brain was also removed leading to corruption in the dataset
Imbalance in Medical condition People suffering from a particular medical condition, will be smaller when compared to the whole human population
Skilled workers to get MRI conducting MRI scan requires high level of expertise and thus limits accessibility
