MRI is an attractive modality for monitoring dynamic lung function since it does not expose patients to ionizing radiation. In this study, a method to automatically segment the right and left lungs using XD-GRASP MRI was developed. The accuracy of our segmentation algorithm was assessed by comparing the automated segmentation results to manual segmentations outlined by expert observers. Excellent agreement was seen between the automated technique and the ground truth, suggesting clinical applicability of the method.
