Fully automated 3D segmentation of MR-imaged calf muscle compartments: Neighborhood relationship enhanced fully convolutional network

•We report a fully automated approach for 3D segmentation of five calf muscle compartments simultaneously.•By considering the similar textures shared by individual muscles, we are able to efficiently impose edge constrains in an end-to-end training manner.•Our method is robust in MR images from both...
