Multi Organ Segmentation of Abdominal Organs Using Cascade Deep Learning Architecture
Keywords:
Cascaded V-Net, abdominal organ, segmentation, Deep LearningAbstract
Manual identification of the organs of the body specially the ones located in the abdominal cavity is a tedious work. The accurate segmentation of the abdominal organs is important from the clinical diagnosis and CAD support systems. Recent development in the artificial intelligence have enables us with the cutting edge techniques even for the dense semantic segmentation of medical images. This paper presents a method to automatically segment organs of the abdominal cavity using cascaded V-Net architecture. In this work, the second V-Net is trained with the output of the first stage along with the down sampled original images to provided better contextual details. The model is trained and validated using multi atlas labelling beyond the cranial vault challenge abdomen data set. F1 score of about 90% was achieved for various organs
