Multi-structure bone segmentation in pediatric MR images with combined regularization from shape priors and adversarial network

作者:

Highlights:

• A deep learning multi-structure segmentation method for pediatric bones in MR images.

• We present a training strategy based on shape priors and adversarial regularizers.

• The combined regularization enforces globally consistent and plausible segmentation.

• Our model learns bone-specific features and characteristics shared among bones.

• Comparison with state-of-the-art shows improved performance on two sparse datasets.
