Random Fourier Features-Based Deep Learning Improvement with Class Activation Interpretability for Nerve Structure Segmentation

Peripheral nerve blocking (PNB) is a standard procedure to support regional anesthesia. Still, correct localization of the nerve’s structure is needed to avoid adverse effects; thereby, ultrasound images are used as an aid approach. In addition, image-based automatic nerve segmentation from deep lea...

description Peripheral nerve blocking (PNB) is a standard procedure to support regional anesthesia.
