3D deeply supervised network for automated segmentation of volumetric medical images.

TLDR
The proposed 3D DSN is capable of conducting volume‐to‐volume learning and inference, which can eliminate redundant computations and alleviate the risk of over‐fitting on limited training data, and the3D deep supervision mechanism can effectively cope with the optimization problem of gradients vanishing or exploding when training a 3D deep model.
