A novel approach for extracting tongue contours from real-time magnetic resonance images is proposed, overcoming the challenges posed by artifacts such as blurring or ghostly contours. This is achieved through a U-Net auto-encoder convolutional neural network (CNN) model that demonstrates strong intra- and inter-subject validation. The model takes in real-time MRI images with manually annotated 1-pixel wide contour inputs, generating predicted probability maps that are post-processed to produce accurate tongue contours. The results outperform previously published automatic tongue segmentation methods.

This paper finds a way to automatically detect the shape of the tongue from magnetic resonance images taken in real time. This is tricky because some parts of the image can get distorted, making it hard to see what’s really there. To solve this problem, scientists used a special kind of artificial intelligence called a convolutional neural network (CNN). They tested their method using many different MRI images and saw that it worked very well. The results are even better than what other researchers have been able to achieve.
