Cardio-pulmonary substructure segmentation of radiotherapy computed tomography images using convolutional neural networks for clinical outcomes analysis

Background and purpose: Radiation dose to the cardio-pulmonary system is critical for radiotherapy-induced mortality in non-small cell lung cancer. Our goal was to automatically segment substructures of the cardio-pulmonary system for use in outcomes analyses for thoracic cancers. We built and valid...
