Population-Scale Segmentation of Penile Tissue in DIXON MRI using Deep Learning for Quantitative Phenotyping in Male Reproductive Health
Penile measurement is clinically relevant across male reproductive and urogenital health, including conditions such as micropenis, congenital and endocrine disorders, and sexual or urinary dysfunction. However, quantitative assessment of penile size has relied mainly on external length or circumference measurements, which are difficult to standardize, sensitive to measurement conditions, and unable to capture the internal portion of the penis. MRI enables volumetric assessment of the whole penis in vivo, but automated segmentation has not previously been established at population scale. Automated whole-organ volumetry would enable high-throughput phenotyping for multi-omics and clinical s...
