An Ensemble of 2.5D ResUnet Based Models for Segmentation for Kidney and Masses [PDF]
The automatic segmentation of kidney, kidney tumor and kidney cyst on Computed Tomography (CT) scans is a challenging task due to the indistinct lesion boundaries and fuzzy texture. Considering the large range and unbalanced distribution of CT scans' thickness, 2.5D ResUnet are adopted to build an efficient coarse-to-fine semantic segmentation ...
