Abstract

The recent advances in the field of computer vision have led to the wide use of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) in organ segmentation of computed tomography (CT) images. Image-guided radiation therapy requires the accurate segmentation of organs at risk (OARs). In this paper, the proposed model is a 2D ResU-Net network to automatically segment thoracic organs at risk in computed tomography (CT) images. The architecture consists of a downsampling path for capturing features and a symmetric upsampling path for obtaining precise localization. The proposed approach achieves a 0.93 dice metric (DSC) and 0.26 hausdorff distance (HD) after using ImageNet stats for normalizing and using pre-trained weights.
