Researchers have developed CirrGuide, a novel deep learning framework designed to segment liver cirrhosis from T2-weighted MRI scans and classify its severity. The framework employs a cascaded approach, first predicting a soft mask of the cirrhotic liver using an Attention U-Net architecture with a ResNet50 encoder. This mask then serves as an anatomical prior for a second ResNet50-based classification branch, which combines global and regional features to distinguish between Mild, Moderate, and Severe cirrhosis. CirrGuide demonstrated strong performance on the CirrMRI600+ dataset, achieving 89.83% Dice score for segmentation and 69.58% accuracy for severity classification, outperforming baseline methods. AI
IMPACT This framework could enhance the accuracy and efficiency of diagnosing and monitoring liver cirrhosis, potentially improving patient treatment outcomes.
