Abstract
A computer-implemented method for determining scar segmentation includes receiving a medical image of an object to be segmented acquired after an application of a low-dose of contrast agent and determining a scar segmentation mask by applying a trained artificial neural network to the medical image. The low-dose of the contrast agent includes less contrast-agent than a standard full-dose of the contrast agent.
