Publication number: 20220395179Abstract: A device for locating target points on a magnetic resonance image of the brain of a subject includes a trained neural network configured to receive as input a 3D MR image of the brain of a subject, and to output the location, on the image, of at least one determined brain target point. The neural network includes a plurality of processing stages. Each processing stage processes an image at a respective resolution, and the processing stage of lowest resolution outputs an estimate of the location of each target point. Each other processing stage is configured to receive, from a lower resolution processing stage, an estimate of the locations of the target points, crop the input image to a smaller region surrounding each estimated target point, determine an updated estimate of the location of each target point, and provide the updated estimation to the processing stage of the next higher resolution.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 3, 2022Publication date: December 15, 2022Inventors: John BAXTER, Quoc Anh BUI, Stéphane CROCI, Antoine DELMAS
