Abstract
An apparatus may obtain a sequence of medical images of a target structure and determine, using a first ANN, a first segmentation and a second segmentation of the target structure based on a first medical image and a second medical image, respectively. The first segmentation may indicate a first plurality of pixels that may belong to the target structure. The second segmentation may indicate a second plurality of pixels that may belong to the target structure. The apparatus may identify, using a second ANN, a first subset of true positive pixels among the first plurality of pixels that may belong to the target structure, and a second subset of true positive pixels among the second plurality of pixels that may belong to the target structure. The apparatus may determine a first refined segmentation and a second refined segmentation of the target structure based on the true positive pixels.
