Deep learning approach to cervical segmentation from routine CT images by Duan, Yiming

“…Traditional 3D methods are unable to learn the exact position of bone joints due to the limitation of local similarity and numbers of param eters. To address the sequential and location-dependent nature of bone segmen tation information, the dissertation proposes a pre-training model for location information, and combines 2.5D image input and labeled multi-channel coding to semantically segment 3D cervical spine CT images. …”
