Abstract
By example, a method for training a model to segment test images, wherein the test images comprise ultrasound image data, includes: receiving, at a self-supervised learning framework, a first plurality of training images, wherein the first plurality of training images include ultrasound data corresponding to patients' livers; processing the first plurality of plurality of training images with a learning algorithm of the self-supervised learning framework, and responsively adapting a trained model; and receiving, at a supervised learning framework, the trained model and a second plurality of training images, wherein the second plurality of training images include ultrasound data corresponding to patients' livers and annotations of the livers, and responsively adapting the trained model.
