Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Segmentation, the partitioning of patient imaging into multiple, labeled segments, has several potential clinical benefits but when performed manually is tedious and resource intensive. Automated deep learning (DL)-based segmentation methods can streamline the process. The objective of this study was to evaluate a label-efficient DL pipeline that requires only a small number of annotated scans for semantic segmentation of sinonasal structures in CT scans.
