Abstract

A computer implemented method of processing MRI images to determine one or more characteristics of an anatomical feature that includes obtaining one or more first MRI images of the anatomical feature; identifying a boundary of an anatomical feature in the MRI images; and using the identified boundary to mask one or more corresponding second MRI images of the anatomical feature to isolate the anatomical feature within the second MRI images.
