Abstract

AIM: Current radiotherapy treatment techniques require a large amount of imaging data for treatment planning which demand significant clinician's time to segment target volume and organs at risk (OARs). In this study, we propose to use U-net-based architecture to segment OARs commonly encountered in lung cancer radiotherapy.
