Fully Automatic Segmentation of Gross Target Volume and Organs-at-Risk for Radiotherapy Planning of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Target segmentation in CT images of Head&Neck (H&N) region is challenging due to low contrast between adjacent soft tissue. The SegRap 2023 challenge has been focused on benchmarking the segmentation algorithms of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC) which would be employed as auto-contouring tools for radiation treatment planning purposes.

SECP-Net: SE-Connection Pyramid Network of Organ At Risk Segmentation for Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a kind of malignant tumor. Accurate and automatic segmentation of organs at risk (OAR) of computed tomography (CT) images is clinically significant. In recent years, deep learning models represented by U-Net have been widely applied in medical image segmentation tasks, which can help doctors with reduction of workload ...
