Workflow of algorithm. (1) The boundary is found and closed for the patients in GroupOUTER by the use of the NAC-PET image and MR-ACDIXON. (2) For both groups, the patients' Dixon-water image is aligned to an atlas, and the air regions within the anatomical surface and overlapping with the mask drawn on the atlas will be filled. The resulting image is denoted MR-ACINPAINTED.
