Abstract

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this article is to develop a deep learning automatic segmentation model for the segmentation of Crohn's disease (CD) lesions in computed tomography enterography (CTE) images. Additionally, the radiomics features extracted from the segmented CD lesions will be analyzed and multiple machine learning classifiers will be built to distinguish CD activity.
