Abstract

The disclosure relates to techniques for automatically characterizing liver tissue of a patient, comprising receiving morphological magnetic resonance image data set and at least one magnetic resonance parameter map of an imaging region comprising at least partially the liver of the patient, each acquired by a magnetic resonance imaging device, via a first interface. The techniques further include applying a trained function comprising a neural network to input data comprising at least the image data set and the parameter map. At least one tissue score describing the liver tissue is generated as output data, which is provided using a second interface.
