Abstract
Described herein are systems, methods, and instrumentalities associated with segmenting and/or determining the shape of an anatomical structure. An artificial neural network (ANN) is used to perform these tasks based on a statistical shape model of the anatomical structure. The ANN is trained by evaluating and backpropagating multiple losses associated with shape estimation and segmentation mask generation. The model obtained using these techniques may be used for different clinical purposes including, for example, motion estimation and motion tracking.
