What is it about?

We compared the performance of automatic and manual hepatic segmentation MRI sampling strategies in measuring liver PDFF to determine interchangeability.

Why is it important?

Automatic measurement has similar effects to manual measurement in quantifying liver volume, MRI-PDFF, and detecting steatosis. Time burden of automatic whole liver segmentation is minimal among all sampling strategies. Manual measurement can be replaced by automatic measurement to improve quantitative efficiency.

Perspectives

I hope this article can make people believe that precise quantitative analysis in medicine is necessary. Because precise measurements can most accurately reflect the patient's physical condition. Moreover, we hope to make readers recognize that automated quantitative analysis of medical images is feasible.
