DEEPMIR: a deep neural network for differential detection of cerebral microbleeds and iron deposits in MRI

Abstract Lobar cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) and localized non-hemorrhage iron deposits in the basal ganglia have been associated with brain aging, vascular disease and neurodegenerative disorders. Particularly, CMBs are small lesions and require multiple neuroimaging modalities for accurate detection...
