Abstract
PURPOSE: Fast helical free-breathing CT (FHFBCT) scans are widely used for 5DCT and 5D Cone Beam imaging protocols. For quantitative analysis of lung physiology and function, it is important to segment the lung lobes in these scans. Since the 5DCT protocols use up to 25 FHFBCT scans, it is important that this segmentation task be automated. In this paper, we present a deep neural network (DNN) framework for segmenting the lung lobes in near real time.
