Abstract
INTRODUCTION: In clinical research on pituitary disorders, pituitary gland (PG) segmentation plays a pivotal role, which impacts the diagnosis and treatment of conditions such as endocrine dysfunctions and visual impairments. Manual segmentation, which is the traditional method, is tedious and susceptible to inter-observer differences. Thus, this study introduces an automated solution, utilizing deep learning, for PG segmentation from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
