Automatic segmentation of the proximal spinal nerve roots

MRI Processing

Hello SCT team,
I was wondering if there is a tool for the automatic segmentation of the proximal spinal nerve roots. I’m mainly interested in proximal lumbosacral nerves.
Many thanks in advance for your help

Hi @mtach,

Thank you for reaching out. No there is no tool (yet) for automatic segmentation of spinal nerve rootlets. However, this is highly desirable feature, so if you are interested in developing it, we would love to help you having that feature integrated into SCT :blush:

Cheers,
Julien

Hi @mtach,

I’m just providing a quick update to let you know that SCT v6.2 has been released. This version of SCT provides a new segmentation model for automatic segmentation of spinal nerve rootlets.

You can use this feature by running sct_deepseg -i image.nii.gz -task seg_spinal_rootlets_t2w. Please let us know if you have any further questions or concerns. :slight_smile:

Kind regards,
Joshua
