Precise dose measurement is critical in radiotherapy planning, which involves accurate and fast segmentation of the organ for estimation of the region at risk. Segmentation Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), as it is gaining more favor against CT in radio therapy, is new for multi-organ segmentation task. In this work, we proposed a fast, accurate, and fully automatic technique (ALMO) that reliefs the intense human labor from manual segmentation in a timing fashion. On our 51-subject dataset, our proposed method achieves an average dice score of 0.76 in the test set in seconds.
