CT2US: Cross-modal transfer learning for kidney segmentation in ultrasound images with synthesized data

•Ultrasound images with annotations are scarce, hampering the application of deep learning methods.•A cross-modal transfer learning strategy is proposed by leveraging annotated data in CT modality.•CycleGAN is adopted to synthesize US images from CT images and construct a transition dataset.•Mainstr...
