Pancreas Segmentation In Abdominal Ct Images With U-Net Model

Pancreas is one of the most challenging organs in segmentation due to its different shape, position and size in each human being. With the development of machine learning, various deep learning methods are applied to segment the pancreas among organs in the abdominal region. In this study, pancreas segmentation is performed using the U-Net model, which is one of the convolutional neural networks (CNN) models. The results of pancreas segmentation performed on the Pancreas CT data set obtained from The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA) database containing computed tomography images of 82 patients are presented in detail. According to the results, Dice similarity coefficient and Jaccard similarity coefficient are found to be 0.78 and 0.66, respectively.
