Among the various aspects of the present disclosure is the provision of methods and systems for segmenting images and expediting a contouring process for MRI-guided adaptive radiotherapy (MR-IGART) comprising applying a convolutional neural network (CNN), wherein the CNN accurately segments organs (e.g., the liver, kidneys, stomach, bowel, or duodenum) in 3D MR images.

Methods and systems for segmenting organs in images using a CNN-based correction network

A computer-implemented method for detecting landmark pairs in a pair of images is provided. The method includes receiving a pair of images, sampling the pair of images to generate reduced-resolution pairs of images, identifying features in the reduced-resolution pairs of images, matching the features in the image pairs, using the matched features in an increased resolution pair of images as guides for feature matching, and through iteratively guiding feature matching, identifying landmarks in the full-resolution pair of images.
