Title
Multi-planar 3D breast segmentation in MRI via deep convolutional neural networks
Abstract
•A novel approach for 3D fully automatic and accurate breast tissue segmentation from MRI data is proposed.•Our approach avoids parameters explosion by using a suitably modified 2D deep U Net CNN model on 3D data.•The method relies on a multi planar combination of deep CNNs by a suitable projection fusing approach.•The proposal was evaluated by using two different datasets on a total of 109 MRI/DCE MRI studies with histopathologically proven lesions.•The proposal demonstrated to be able to cope with a multi protocol requirement.
