Automatic segmentation of inner ear on CT-scan using auto-context convolutional neural network

Abstract Temporal bone CT-scan is a prerequisite in most surgical procedures concerning the ear such as cochlear implants. The 3D vision of inner ear structures is crucial for diagnostic and surgical preplanning purposes. Since clinical CT-scans are acquired at relatively low resolutions, improved p...
