Surface Muscle Segmentation Using 3D U-Net Based on Selective Voxel Patch Generation in Whole-Body CT Images

This study aimed to develop and validate an automated segmentation method for surface muscles using a three-dimensional (3D) U-Net based on selective voxel patches from whole-body computed tomography (CT) images. Our method defined a voxel patch (VP) as the input images, which consisted of 56 slices...
