Abstract

BACKGROUND: Deep learning has presented great potential in accurate MR image segmentation when enough labeled data are provided for network optimization. However, manually annotating three-dimensional (3D) MR images is tedious and time-consuming, requiring experts with rich domain knowledge and experience.
