Synopsis
Segmentation of the spinal cord is an essential process for the accurate delineation of spinal cord structures. However, it is a long process and automatic segmentation tools are not adapted to segment the pediatric spinal cord. We therefore developed a tool mixing a neural network and a deterministic method to overcome the limitations. We succeeded in obtaining a segmentation with a dice coefficient of 0.86 on a patient with a spinal cord injury (SCI).
