Fully automatic segmentation of lumbar vertebrae from CT images using cascaded 3D fully convolutional networks [PDF]
We present a method to address the challenging problem of segmentation of lumbar vertebrae from CT images acquired with varying fields of view. Our method is based on cascaded 3D Fully Convolutional Networks (FCNs) consisting of a localization FCN and a ...
