Coronary artery segmentation under class imbalance using a U-Net based architecture on computed tomography angiography images

Abstract Coronary artery disease is caused primarily by vessel narrowing. Extraction of the coronary artery area from images is the preferred procedure for diagnosing coronary diseases. In this study, a U-Net-based network architecture, 3D Dense-U-Net, was adopted to perform fully automatic segmenta...
