Description
Summary:Deep learning architectures used for automatic multi-organ segmentation in the medical field have gained increased attention in the last years as the results and achievements outweighed the older techniques. Due to improvements in the computer hardware and the development of specialized network designs, deep learning segmentation presents exciting developments and opportunities also for future research. Therefore, we have compiled a review of the most interesting deep learning architectures applicable to medical multi-organ segmentation. We have summarized over 50 contributions, most of which are more recent than 3 years. The papers were grouped into three categories based on the architecture: “Convolutional Neural Networks” (CNNs), “Fully Convolutional Neural Networks” (FCNs) and hybrid architectures that combine more designs - including “Generative Adversarial Networks” (GANs) or “Recurrent Neural Networks” (RNNs). Afterwards we present the most used multi-organ datasets, and we finalize by making a general discussion of current shortcomings and future potential research paths.
