Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Preoperative planning for otologic or neurotologic procedures often requires manual segmentation of relevant structures, which can be tedious and time-consuming. Automated methods for segmenting multiple geometrically complex structures can not only streamline preoperative planning but also augment minimally invasive and/or robot-assisted procedures in this space. This study evaluates a state-of-the-art deep learning pipeline for semantic segmentation of temporal bone anatomy.
