M3Net: A multi-model, multi-size, and multi-view deep neural network for brain magnetic resonance image segmentation

作者:

Highlights:

• A multi-model, multi-size and multi-view deep model for Brain MR Image Segmentation.

• Using both ‘deep’ (U-Net) and ‘shallow’ (BPNN) models to segment Brain MR Images.

• Using multi-size patches extracted on three view planes as the input of our model.

• Using CAE for image restoration and using an atlas to include brain anatomy into U-Nets.

• Outperforms widely used segmentation methods on simulated and clinical MR images.
