Deep Q Learning Driven CT Pancreas Segmentation with Geometry-Aware U-Net [PDF]
Segmentation of pancreas is important for medical image analysis, yet it faces great challenges of class imbalance, background distractions and non-rigid geometrical features. To address these difficulties, we introduce a Deep Q Network(DQN) driven approach with deformable U-Net to accurately segment the pancreas by explicitly interacting with ...

Learning shape distributions from large databases of healthy organs: applications to zero-shot and few-shot abnormal pancreas detection [PDF]
We propose a scalable and data-driven approach to learn shape distributions from large databases of healthy organs. To do so, volumetric segmentation masks are embedded into a common probabilistic shape space that is learned with a variational auto-encoding network.
