Abstract

PURPOSE: Volumetric pancreas segmentation can be used in the diagnosis of pancreatic diseases, the research about diabetes and surgical planning. Since manual delineation is time-consuming and laborious, we develop a deep learning-based framework for automatic pancreas segmentation in three dimensional (3D) medical images.
