Deep Learning Initialized and Gradient Enhanced Level-Set Based Segmentation for Liver Tumor From CT Images

Liver and liver tumor segmentation provides vital biomarkers for surgical planning and hepatic diagnosis. In this paper, we propose and validate a novel level-set method integrating an enhanced edge indicator and an automatically derived initial curve for CT based liver tumor segmentation. At the pr...
