Automatic Segmentation of the Prostate on 3D Trans-rectal Ultrasound Images using Statistical Shape Models and Convolutional Neural Networks [PDF]
In this work we propose to segment the prostate on a challenging dataset of trans-rectal ultrasound (TRUS) images using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and statistical shape models (SSMs). TRUS is commonly used for a number of image-guided interventions on the prostate.
