Using deep neural networks for segmenting an MRI image of heterogeneously distributed pixels into a specific class assigning a label to each pixel is the concept of the proposed approach. This approach facilitates the application of the segmentation process on a preprocessed MRI image, with a trained network to be utilized for other test images. As labels are considered expensive assets in supervised training, fewer training images and training labels are used to obtain optimal accuracy. To validate the performance of the proposed approach, an experiment is conducted on other test images (available in the same database) that are not part of the training; the obtained result is of good visual quality in terms of segmentation and quite similar to the ground truth image. The average computed Dice similarity index for the test images is approximately 0.8, whereas the Jaccard similarity measure is approximately 0.6, which is better compared to other methods. This implies that the proposed method can be used to obtain reference images almost similar to the segmented ground truth images.
