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.

Spatial Aggregation of Holistically-Nested Networks for Automated Pancreas Segmentation

TL;DR: In this paper, a holistic learning approach that integrates semantic mid-level cues of deeply-learned organ interior and boundary maps via robust spatial aggregation using random forest is presented, which achieves a (mean $\pm$ std. dev.) Dice Similarity Coefficient of 78.01% and 8.2% in testing.

Interactive Whole-Heart Segmentation in Congenital Heart Disease

TL;DR: This work presents an interactive algorithm to segment the heart chambers and epicardial surfaces, including the great vessel walls, in pediatric cardiac MRI of congenital heart disease, and shows that strategies asking the user to manually segment regions of interest within short-axis slices yield higher accuracy with less user input than those querying entire short- axis slices.

Optimizing boundary detection via Simulated Search with applications to multi-modal heart segmentation

TL;DR: This paper proposes a new method for the local assessment of boundary detection called Simulated Search, which takes any boundary detection function and evaluates its performance for a single model landmark in terms of an estimated geometric boundary detection error and demonstrates the success of the method for cardiac image segmentation.
