    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for processing an inputted perfusion sequence, by means of a convolutional neural network, CNN, the method being characterized in that it comprises the implementation, by a data processor (11b) of a second server (1b), of steps of:
    (b) extracting, using an encoder branch of the CNN, a plurality of initial n+1-dimensional features maps representative of the inputted perfusion sequence at different scales, n≥3, said CNN further comprising a decoder branch and skip connections between the encoder branch and the decoder branch, each skip connection projecting the initial n+1-dimensional features maps into initial n-dimensional feature maps;
    (c) generating, using said decoder branch of the CNN, a plurality of enriched n-dimensional feature maps also representative of representative of the inputted perfusion sequence at different scales, each enriched n-dimensional feature map incorporating the information from the initial n-dimensional feature maps of smaller or equal scale;
    (d) generating at least one quantitative map of the inputted perfusion sequence from the largest-scale enriched n-dimensional feature maps.
