Based on a recent discussion, it was concluded that, for now, resampling is not required because the first iteration of the model only uses a single contrast (sagittal-T2w). However, we want to keep this open for the future when a model incorporating multiple contrasts and/or anatomical planes will be trained. In that case, resampling to isotropic resolution will surely help in accomodating more information.
That said, the resampling value is undecided yet. Currently, the in-plane axial resolution in the sagittal image is high, which makes SC segmentation (and therefore, lesions) difficult. Moreover, training a DL model to segment lesions based on a single sagittal T2w contrast might be an under-utilization of total available information (axial T2w and T1w contrasts). Hence, resampling is important when we want to include more information for model training. More on this soon.
This pipeline will prepare data for training. Notably:
