Automatic liver segmentation plays an important role in computer-aided diagnosis and treatment. Manual segmentation of organs is a difficult and tedious task and so prone to human errors. In this paper, we propose an adaptive 3D region growing with subject-specific conditions. For this aim we use the intensity distribution of most probable voxels in prior map along with location prior. We also incorporate the boundary of target organs to restrict the region growing. In order to obtain strong edges and high contrast, we propose an effective contrast enhancement algorithm to facilitate more accurate segmentation. In this paper, 92.56% Dice score is achieved. We compare our method with the method of hard thresholding on Deeds prior map and also with the majority voting on Deeds registration with 13 organs.

The need for CT scan analysis is growing for pre-diagnosis and therapy of abdominal organs. Automatic organ segmentation of abdominal CT scan can help radiologists analyze the scans faster and segment organ images with fewer errors. However, existing methods are not efficient enough to perform the segmentation process for victims of accidents and emergencies situations. In this paper we propose an efficient liver segmentation with our 3D to 2D fully connected network (3D-2D-FCN). The segmented mask is enhanced by means of conditional random field on the organ's border. Consequently, we segment…
Accurate liver and lesion segmentation from computed tomography (CT) images are highly demanded in clinical practice for assisting the diagnosis and assessment of hepatic tumor disease. However, automatic liver and lesion segmentation from contrast-enhanced CT volumes is extremely challenging due to the diversity in contrast, resolution, and quality of images. Previous methods based on UNet for 2D slice-by-slice or 3D volume-by-volume segmentation either lack sufficient spatial contexts or suffer from high GPU computational cost, which limits the performance. To tackle these issues, we propose…

Objective: Herein, a neural network-based liver segmentation algorithm is proposed, and its performance was evaluated using abdominal computed tomography (CT) images. Methods: A fully convolutional network was developed to overcome the volumetric image segmentation problem. To guide a neural network to accurately delineate a target liver object, the network was deeply supervised by applying the adaptive self-supervision scheme to derive the essential contour, which acted as a complement with the global shape. The discriminative contour, shape, and deep features were internally merged for the s…

Automatic multi-organ segmentation of the dual energy computed tomography (DECT) data can be beneficial for biomedical research and clinical applications. However, it is a challenging task. Recent advances in deep learning showed the feasibility to use 3-D fully convolutional networks (FCN) for voxel-wise dense predictions in single energy computed tomography (SECT). In this paper, we proposed a 3D FCN based method for automatic multi-organ segmentation in DECT. The work was based on a cascaded FCN and a general model for the major organs trained on a large set of SECT data. We preprocessed th…
Colorectal liver metastasis is one of most aggressive liver malignancies.

Organ segmentation is a prerequisite for a computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system to detect pathologies and perform quantitative analysis. For anatomically high-variability abdominal organs such as the pancreas, previous segmentation works report low accuracies when comparing to organs like the heart or liver. In this paper, a fully-automated bottom-up method is presented for pancreas segmentation, using abdominal computed tomography (CT) scans. The method is based on a hierarchical two-tiered information propagation by classifying image patches. It labels superpixels as pancreas or not via poo…

Deformable registration of two-dimensional/three-dimensional (2D/3D) images of abdominal organs is a complicated task because the abdominal organs deform significantly and their contours are not detected in two-dimensional X-ray images. We propose a supervised deep learning framework that achieves 2D/3D deformable image registration between 3D volumes and single-viewpoint 2D projected images. The proposed method learns the translation from the target 2D projection images and the initial 3D volume to 3D displacement fields. In experiments, we registered 3D-computed tomography (CT) volumes to di…
Transfer learning and joint learning approaches are extensively used to improve the performance of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). In medical imaging applications in which the target dataset is typically very small, transfer learning improves feature learning while joint learning has shown effectiveness in improving the network's generalization and robustness. In this work, we study the combination of these two approaches for the problem of liver lesion segmentation and classification. For this purpose, 332 abdominal CT slices containing lesion segmentation and classification of three le…
Applications of ultrasound images have expanded from fetal imaging to abdominal and cardiac diagnosis. Liver-being the largest gland in the body and responsible for metabolic activities requires to be to be diagnosed and therefore subject to utmost injury. Although, ultrasound imaging has developed into three and four dimensions providing higher amount of information; it requires highly trained medical staff due to the image complexity and dimensions it contain.

Manually tracing regions of interest (ROIs) within the liver is the de facto standard method for measuring liver attenuation on computed tomography (CT) in diagnosing nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, manual tracing is resource intensive. To address these limitations and to expand the availability of a quantitative CT measure of hepatic steatosis, we propose the automatic liver attenuation ROI-based measurement (ALARM) method for automated liver attenuation estimation. The ALARM method consists of two major stages: (1) deep convolutional neural network (DCNN)-based liver segme…
Primary tumors have a high likelihood of developing metastases in the liver and early detection of these metastases is crucial for patient outcome. We propose a method based on convolutional neural networks (CNN) to detect liver metastases. First, the liver was automatically segmented using the six phases of abdominal dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) MR images. Next, DCE-MR and diffusion weighted (DW) MR images are used for metastases detection within the liver mask. The liver segmentations have a median Dice similarity coefficient of 0.95 compared with manual annotations. The metastases detect…

A two-step concept for 3D segmentation on 5 abdominal organs inside volumetric CT images is presented. First each relevant organ's volume of interest is extracted as bounding box. The extracted volume acts as input for a second stage, wherein two compared U-Nets with different architectural dimensions re-construct an organ segmentation as label mask. In this work, we focus on comparing 2D U-Nets vs. 3D U-Net counterparts. Our initial results indicate Dice improvements of about 6\% at maximum. In this study to our surprise, liver and kidneys for instance were tackled significantly better using …

With the unprecedented developments in deep learning, automatic segmentation of main abdominal organs seems to be a solved problem as state-of-the-art (SOTA) methods have achieved comparable results with inter-rater variability on many benchmark datasets. However, most of the existing abdominal datasets only contain single-center, single-phase, single-vendor, or single-disease cases, and it is unclear whether the excellent performance can generalize on diverse datasets. This paper presents a large and diverse abdominal CT organ segmentation dataset, termed AbdomenCT-1K, with more than 1000 (1K…

Despite the successes of deep learning techniques at detecting objects in medical images, false positive detections occur which may hinder an accurate diagnosis. We propose a technique to reduce false positive detections made by a neural network using an SVM classifier trained with features derived from the uncertainty map of the neural network prediction. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this method for the detection of liver lesions on a dataset of abdominal MR images. We find that the use of a dropout rate of 0.5 produces the least number of false positives in the neural network predicti…

Liver segmentation from abdominal CT images is an essential step for liver cancer computer-aided diagnosis and surgical planning. However, both the accuracy and robustness of existing liver segmentation methods cannot meet the requirements of clinical applications. In particular, for the common clinical cases where the liver tissue contains major pathology, current segmentation methods show poor performance. In this paper, we propose a novel low-rank tensor decomposition (LRTD) based multi-atlas segmentation (MAS) framework that achieves accurate and robust pathological liver segmentation of C…

Recent advances in 3D fully convolutional networks (FCN) have made it feasible to produce dense voxel-wise predictions of full volumetric images. In this work, we show that a multi-class 3D FCN trained on manually labeled CT scans of seven abdominal structures (artery, vein, liver, spleen, stomach, gallbladder, and pancreas) can achieve competitive segmentation results, while avoiding the need for handcrafting features or training organ-specific models. To this end, we propose a two-stage, coarse-to-fine approach that trains an FCN model to roughly delineate the organs of interest in the first…
