Automated T1w/T2w Processing for Reliable and Efficient Myelination Assessment in Pediatric MRI

Motivation: Effective myelination assessment is crucial for pediatric brain development but is limited by time-consuming manual processes. Goal(s): Automate T1w/T2w processing to enhance clinical feasibility and reliability. Approach: Developed an automated T1w/T2w workflow for external calibration and myelination analysis. Results: The automated method achieved high consistency with manual results and showed stronger age correlation, significantly reducing processing time. Impact: The automated T1w/T2w processing method enhances the accuracy, speed, and clinical applicability of myelination assessment in pediatric MRI, supporting broader and more reliable clinical use.
