Automatic segmentation of trabecular and cortical compartments in HR-pQCT images using an embedding-predicting U-Net and morphological post-processing
Abstract High-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) is an emerging in vivo imaging modality for quantification of bone microarchitecture. However, extraction of quantitative microarchitectural parameters from HR-pQCT images requires an accurate segmentation of the image. T...
