Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for automatic segmentation of a vessel. A sequence of image slices containing a vessel is acquired. Features maps are generated for each of the image slices using a trained fully convolutional neural network. A trained bi-directional recurrent neural network generates a segmented image based on the feature maps.
