Accurate pancreas segmentation using multi-level pyramidal pooling residual U-Net with adversarial mechanism
Abstract Background A novel multi-level pyramidal pooling residual U-Net with adversarial mechanism was proposed for organ segmentation from medical imaging, and was conducted on the challenging NIH Pancreas-CT dataset. Methods The 82 pancreatic contrast-enhanced abdominal CT volumes were split via...
