Multiple Sclerosis lesions can impair most automated image-processing pipelines. They can be present with different sizes, contrasts and shapes and at multiple locations across the central nervous system. Whilst lesion-filling is often a required pre-processing step in the analysis of brain MR images, its potential utility in spinal cord imaging remains unexplored. This study introduces a method for in-painting lesions in the spinal cord and demonstrates its efficacy for improving the results of spinal cord MR image analysis.
