In this paper,\nwe propose a two-stage 3D fully convolutional neural network that efficiently\ndetects and segments the hippocampal structures. In particular, our approach\nfirst localizes the hippocampus from the whole volumetric image while obtaining\na proposal for a rough segmentation. After localization, we apply the proposal\nas an enhancement mask to extract the fine structure of the hippocampus. The\nproposed method has been evaluated on a public dataset and compares with\nstate-of-the-art approaches. Results indicate the effectiveness of the proposed\nmethod, which yields mean Dice Similarity Coefficients (i.e. DSC) of $0.897$\nand $0.900$ for the left and right hippocampus, respectively. Furthermore,\nextensive experiments manifest that the proposed enhancement mask layer has\nremarkable benefits for accelerating training process and obtaining more\naccurate segmentation results.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1902.04244v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1902.04244v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"enhancement-mask-for-hippocampus-detection","repo_url":"https://github.com/densechen/densechen.github.io","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":null,"task_name":"Hippocampus"},{"task_slug":"segmentation","task_name":"Segmentation"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
