• Abstract: Image segmentation enables to extract quantitative measures from scans that can serve as imaging biomarkers for diseases. However, segmentation quality can vary substantially across scans, and therefore yield unfaithful estimates in the follow-up statistical analysis of biomarkers. The core problem is that segmentation and biomarker analysis are performed independently. We propose to propagate segmentation uncertainty to the statistical analysis to account for variations in segmentation confidence. To this end, we evaluate four Bayesian neural networks to sample from the posterior distribution and estimate the uncertainty. We then assign confidence measures to the biomarker and propose statistical models for its integration in group analysis and disease classification. Our results for segmenting the liver in patients with diabetes mellitus clearly demonstrate the improvement of integrating biomarker uncertainty in the statistical inference.

  Quantification of cardiac biomarkers from cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) data using deep learning (DL) methods offers many advantages. However, only a few studies have focused on the scan-rescan precision of the biomarker estimates. Here, we propose a cardiac biomarker estimation pipeline that not only focuses on achieving high segmentation accuracy but also on improving the scan-rescan precision.
