Title
DeepTarget: Gross tumor and clinical target volume segmentation in esophageal cancer radiotherapy
Abstract
•Segment esophageal GTV using a new CT/PET based two-stream chained deep fusion method.•Propose a simple yet powerful progressive semantically-nested network to segment GTV.•Segment esophageal CTV using a novel spatial-context encoded deep framework.•Establish significant GTV and CTV improvements over prior arts by extensive experiments.•Study the impact of GTV on the CTV segmentation making the whole workflow more interconnected.
