New pipeline improves colon segmentation accuracy in 3D CT scans

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a novel three-stage pipeline designed to improve the accuracy and anatomical continuity of colon segmentation in 3D abdominal CT scans. This method addresses the common issue of disconnected predictions from deep learning models by first performing an initial segmentation, then reconnecting disjointed regions using a centreline bridging technique, and finally refining the continuity. Evaluations on the TotalSegmentator and RAOS datasets using various metrics indicate that this approach enhances structural consistency and topological integrity while maintaining segmentation accuracy, making it more reliable for clinical and research applications.

    Preserving Anatomical Continuity: Three-Stage Pipeline for Colon Segmentation in 3D Abdominal CT Scans

    arXiv:2610.03467v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate colon segmentation from CT images is essential for colorectal disease analysis, yet deep learning based methods often produce disconnected predictions due to complex anatomy. This study introduces a three-stage, topology-…
