EEB7-UNet: a deep learning framework for automated segmentation of fractured C-spine vertebrae
A deep learning model, enhanced EfficientNetB7 U-Net (EEB7-UNet), is proposed to segment the fractured cervical vertebrae, which yields superior performance in terms of dice score index and Jaccard coefficient index compared to the other state of the art convolutional neural network used as an encoder in the U-Net.
