OBJECTIVE: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an essential imaging modality in noninvasive splenomegaly diagnosis. However, it is challenging to achieve spleen volume measurement from three-dimensional MRI given the diverse structural variations of human abdomens as well as the wide variety of clinical MRI acquisition schemes. Multi-atlas segmentation (MAS) approaches have been widely used and validated to handle heterogeneous anatomical scenarios. In this paper, we propose to use MAS for clinical MRI spleen segmentation for splenomegaly. METHODS: First, an automated segmentation method using the selective and iterative method for performance level estimation (SIMPLE) atlas selection is used to address the concerns of inhomogeneity for clinical splenomegaly MRI. Then, to further control outliers, semiautomated craniocaudal spleen length-based SIMPLE atlas selection (L-SIMPLE) is proposed to integrate a spatial prior in a Bayesian fashion and guide iterative atlas selection. Last, a graph cuts refinement is employed to achieve the final segmentation from the probability maps from MAS. RESULTS: A clinical cohort of 55 MRI volumes (28 T1 weighted and 27 T2 weighted) was used to evaluate both automated and semiautomated methods. CONCLUSION: The results demonstrated that both methods achieved median Dice , and outliers were alleviated by the L-SIMPLE (≍1 min manual efforts per scan), which achieved 0.97 Pearson correlation of volume measurements with the manual segmentation. SIGNIFICANCE: In this paper, spleen segmentation on MRI splenomegaly using MAS has been performed.
