    MRI is highly regarded for its soft tissue contrast but is prone to motion artifacts that can compromise diagnostic accuracy.

  • 2

    Motion artifacts affect up to one-third of MRI sequences, leading to increased scan times and costs due to repeat imaging.

  • 3

    Data augmentation strategies may enhance the robustness of diagnostic AI models against motion artifacts during image analysis.

  • 4

    The study evaluates the impact of three data augmentation strategies on the performance of an AI model for lower limb segmentation.

  • 5

    A convolutional neural network was trained to segment lower limb bones and quantify alignment, utilizing expert-checked manual segmentation.
