White matter hyperintensities (WMH) appear as regions of abnormally high signal intensity
on T2-weighted magnetic resonance image (MRI) sequences. In particular, WMH have been
noteworthy in age-related neuroscience for being a crucial biomarker for all types of
dementia and brain aging processes. The automatic WMH segmentation is challenging
because of their variable intensity range, size and shape. U-Net tackles this problem through
the dense prediction and has shown competitive performances not only on WMH …
