Automatic segmentation of skeletal muscles from MR images using modified U-Net and a novel data augmentation approach

Rapid and accurate muscle segmentation is essential for the diagnosis and monitoring of many musculoskeletal diseases. As gold standard, manual annotation suffers from intensive labor and high inter-operator reproducibility errors. In this study, deep learning (DL) based automatic muscle segmentatio...
