Improving Segmentation and Detection of Lesions in CT Scans Using Intensity Distribution Supervision [PDF]
, 2023 We propose a method to incorporate the intensity information of a target lesion on CT scans in training segmentation and detection networks. We first build an intensity-based lesion probability (ILP) function from an intensity histogram of the target lesion. It is used to compute the probability of being the lesion for each voxel based on its intensity.
