Location Sensitive Deep Convolutional Neural Networks for Segmentation of White Matter Hyperintensities
Abstract The anatomical location of imaging features is of crucial importance for accurate diagnosis in many medical tasks. Convolutional neural networks (CNN) have had huge successes in computer vision, but they lack the natural ability to incorporate the anatomical location in their decision makin...
