Detection and Segmentation of Pelvic Bones Metastases in MRI Images for Patients With Prostate Cancer Based on Deep Learning

ObjectiveTo establish and evaluate the 3D U-Net model for automated segmentation and detection of pelvic bone metastases in patients with prostate cancer (PCa) using diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and T1 weighted imaging (T1WI) images.MethodsThe model consisted of two 3D U-Net algorithms. A total...
