Abstract:
Methods, systems, apparatus, and computer programs, for processing images through multiple neural networks that are trained to detect a pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. In one aspect, a method includes actions of obtaining a first image that depicts a first volume of voxels, performing coarse segmentation of the first image using a first neural network trained (i) to process images having the first volume of voxels and (ii) to produce first output data, determining a region of interest of the first image based on the coarse segmentation, performing multi-stage fine segmentation on a plurality of other images that are each based on the region of interest of the first image to generate output data for each stage of the multi-stage fine segmentation, and determining based on the first output data and the output data of each stage of the multi-stage fine segmentation, whether the first image depicts a tumor.
