Multiscale Local Enhancement Deep Convolutional Networks for the Automated 3D Segmentation of Gross Tumor Volumes in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma: A Multi-Institutional Dataset Study
PurposeAccurate segmentation of gross target volume (GTV) from computed tomography (CT) images is a prerequisite in radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). However, this task is very challenging due to the low contrast at the boundary of the tumor and the great variety of sizes and morpholo...
