Patent attributes
Systems with a contouring method are provided for contouring one or more targets that correspond to specific organs and/or tumors in a three-dimensional medical image of a patient using neural networks. The contouring system includes a storage unit, a processing unit, and a plurality of modules that are computer operable. The processing unit is used to obtain the image, and then to generate one or more contouring images using a contouring method. The contouring method includes enhancing image features and improving contouring accuracy using an image preprocessing module, and extracting a plurality of multi-scale image representations and expanding these representations to one or more contouring images using a neural network-based contouring module.
