Problems solved by technology

In addition, the existing segmentation methods are only simple imitation and extension of 2D image segmentation methods and 3D single-organ segmentation methods, without structural optimization for the characteristics and difficulties of 3D multi-organ segmentation: First, in the multi-organ segmentation task, the target The number of organs generally does not exceed fifteen. Compared with natural image segmentation data sets, the complexity is greatly reduced; secondly, in the segmentation task of natural images, a target may appear in any position or multiple positions of the image, and in each In a group of 3D CT images, the number and location of organs are highly predictable; in addition, medical image segmentation has higher requirements on the effect compared with natural images, especially at the edge of organs
