Liver segmentation on a variety of computed tomography (CT) images based on convolutional neural networks combined with connected components
Liver segmentation is relevant for several clinical applications. Automatic liver segmentation using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) has been recently investigated. In this paper, we propose a new approach of combining a largest connected component (LCC) algorithm, as a post-processing step, with CNN approaches to improve liver segmentation accuracy.
