Deep Image-to-Image Network Learning for Medical Image Analysis
First Claim
1. A method for automatically performing a medical image analysis task on a medical image of a patient, comprising:
- receiving an input medical image of a patient; and
automatically generating an output image that provides a result of a target medical image analysis task on the input medical image using a trained deep image-to-image network (DI2IN), wherein the DI2IN uses a conditional random field (CRF) energy function to estimate the output image based on the input medical image and uses a trained deep learning network to model unary and pairwise terms of the CRF energy function.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for automatically performing medical image analysis tasks using deep image-to-image network (DI2IN) learning. An input medical image of a patient is received. An output image that provides a result of a target medical image analysis task on the input medical image is automatically generated using a trained deep image-to-image network (DI2IN). The trained DI2IN uses a conditional random field (CRF) energy function to estimate the output image based on the input medical image and uses a trained deep learning network to model unary and pairwise terms of the CRF energy function. The DI2IN may be trained on an image with multiple resolutions. The input image may be split into multiple parts and a separate DI2IN may be trained for each part. Furthermore, the multi-scale and multi-part schemes can be combined to train a multi-scale multi-part DI2IN.
