Segmentation of Femur bone from X-ray images is an indispensable step in computer aided analysis of medical images and orthopaedic examinations. It is more complex than segmentation from CT and MR images, because some of the less dense related tissues are difficult to distinguish from the femur in X-ray images. We present a method based on Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) to automatically extract the femurs from hip X-ray images. Specifically, we propose a Generative Adversarial Networks for Femur Segmentation to map hip image to femur image with nonlinear relationship and produce accurate segmentation results. In Generative Adversarial Networks for Femur Segmentation, we use the adaptive contours estimation algorithm and absolute deviations loss function to optimize neural networks. Experimental results show that our method is accurate, robust, and achieves an average dice similarity coefficient of 0.995.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
