Segmentation of finger tendon and synovial sheath in ultrasound image using deep convolutional neural network

Abstract Background Trigger finger is a common hand disease, which is caused by a mismatch in diameter between the tendon and the pulley. Ultrasound images are typically used to diagnose this disease, which are also used to guide surgical treatment. However, background noise and unclear tissue bound...
