Automatic airway segmentation from computed tomography using robust and efficient 3-D convolutional neural networks

Abstract This paper presents a fully automatic and end-to-end optimised airway segmentation method for thoracic computed tomography, based on the U-Net architecture. We use a simple and low-memory 3D U-Net as backbone, which allows the method to process large 3D image patches, often comprising full...
