Abstract

The quantity and variety of CT imaging data are essential components for effective AI-model training. However, the availability of high-quality CT images for organ segmentation is quite constrained, and the AI-based organ segmentation could be impacted by the varying intensity of contrast agents. Therefore, to improve the robustness of the segmentation both with and without a contrast agent, as well as to solve the data shortage issue, we proposed a multi-planar UNet with an augmented contrast-boosting technique. Any program employing the proposed method may see greater benefits from reducing the burden of large-scale dataset preparation, improving the AI-model training efficiency.
