description | Ultrasound is a widely used imaging technology that allows for fast diagnosis of a broad range of illnesses and injuries of the musculoskeletal system. However, interpreting ultrasound images remains a challenging task that requires expert knowledge and years of training for each exam. One crucial step for the long-term goal of automatic diagnosis is pixel wise semantic segmentation. |
