Automatic segmentation of the brain and intracranial cerebrospinal fluid in T1-weighted volume MRI scans of the head, and its application to serial cerebral and intracranial volumetry.

abstract：:Two-dimensional intersecting k-space trajectories have previously been demonstrated to allow fast multispectral imaging. Repeated sampling of k-space points leads to destructive interference of the signal coming from the off-resonance spectral peaks; on-resonance data reconstruction yields images of the on-resonance p...
