Described herein are systems, methods, and instrumentalities associated with using a multi-layer perceptron (MLP) neural network to process medical images of an anatomical structure. The processing may include padding an input image in accordance with the training of the MLP neural network, splitting the input image (e.g., the padded input image) into patches of a same size, and processing the patches through the MLP neural network over one or more iterations. During an iteration of the processing, the patches may be processed separately and re-combined into an intermediate image before the intermediate image is shifted to concatenate portions of the image that are derived from different patches. This way, global features of the anatomical structure may be learned and used to improve the quality of the image generated by the MLP neural network, without incurring significant computation or memory costs.
