Deep learning models for preoperative T-stage assessment in rectal cancer using MRI: exploring the impact of rectal filling

BackgroundThe objective of this study was twofold: firstly, to develop a convolutional neural network (CNN) for automatic segmentation of rectal cancer (RC) lesions, and secondly, to construct classification models to differentiate between different T-stages of RC. Additionally, it was attempted to...
