Magnetic Resonance (MR) protocols use several sequences to evaluate pathology and organ status. Yet, despite recent advances, the analysis of each sequence’s images (modality hereafter) is treated in isolation. We propose a method suitable for multimodal and multi-input learning and analysis, that disentangles anatomical and imaging factors, and combines anatomical content across the modalities to extract more accurate segmentation masks. Mis-registrations between the inputs are handled with a Spatial Transformer Network, which non-linearly aligns the (now intensity-invariant) anatomical factors. We demonstrate applications in Late Gadolinium Enhanced (LGE) and cine MRI segmentation. We show that multi-input outperforms single-input models, and that we can train a (semi-supervised) model with few (or no) annotations for one of the modalities. Code is available at https://github.com/agis85/multimodal_segmentation.
