Advances in Automated MRI Processing for Population-Scale Musculoskeletal Research

KEMAI Research Training Group GRK 3012/1 Hendrik Möller & Robert Graf, TU Munich Abstract We present recent advances in automatic image processing pipelines designed for large-scale cohort studies, focusing on applications in the NAKO (German National Cohort) and back pain research. We first highlight our work on Image2Image translation methods—including denoising diffusion models and Pix2Pix networks—that enable missing sequences, correct reconstruction errors in water-fat imaging (MAGO-SP), and perform MRI-to-CT translation for accurate bone segmentation.
