Detecting the pulmonary trunk in CT scout views using deep learning

Abstract For CT pulmonary angiograms, a scout view obtained in anterior–posterior projection is usually used for planning. For bolus tracking the radiographer manually locates a position in the CT scout view where the pulmonary trunk will be visible in an axial CT pre-scan. We automate the task of l...
