Deep learning model enables population-scale penile MRI segmentation

Researchers have developed a deep learning framework to automatically segment penile tissue from DIXON MRI scans, enabling population-scale quantitative phenotyping for male reproductive health studies. The model, optimized using a 3D nnU-Net architecture on a curated dataset, achieved observer-level accuracy on an independent test set. This framework was successfully deployed on over 34,000 UK Biobank participants, demonstrating high reproducibility and providing a scalable method for anatomical assessment. AI
