Abstract:Organs at Risk (OARs) are healthy tissues around cancer that must be preserved in radiotherapy (RT). The spinal cord and esophagus are crucial OARs. In this work, we proposed methods for the segmentation of these OARs from the CT using image processing techniques and deep convolutional neural network (CNN). For spinal cord segmentation, two methods are proposed, the first using techniques such as template matching, superpixel, and CNN. The second method, use adaptive template matching and CNN. In the esophagus… Show more
