Abstract
A method and system for anatomical landmark detection in medical images using deep neural networks is disclosed. For each of a plurality of image patches centered at a respective one of a plurality of voxels in the medical image, a subset of voxels within the image patch is input to a trained deep neural network based on a predetermined sampling pattern. A location of a target landmark in the medical image is detected using the trained deep neural network based on the subset of voxels input to the trained deep neural network from each of the plurality of image patches.
