Abstract
The disclosure relates to a method for determining a boundary about an area of interest in an image set. The includes obtaining the image set from an imaging modality and processing the image set in a convolutional neural network. The convolutional neural network is trained to perform the acts of predicting an inverse distance map for the actual boundary in the image set; and deriving the boundary from the inverse distance map. The disclosure also relates to a method of training a convolutional neural network for use in such a method, and a medical imaging arrangement.
