LegSegNet: A Public Deep Learning System for Lower Extremity CT Tissue Segmentation and Quantification 文章

arXiv:2605.30829v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Lower extremity computed tomography (CT) contains clinically relevant information for body composition analysis, sarcopenia assessment, and musculoskeletal disease monitoring, but extracting these measurements at scale requires accurate tissue segmentation and an automated quantification workflow. Existing public segmentation tools are not designed for comprehensive lower extremity CT analysis, particularly for clinically important inter/intramuscular adipose tissue, and most public methods only provide mask prediction rather than an end-to-end quantification system. To address this problem, we present LegSegNet, a deep learning system for lower extremity CT tissue segmentation and body composition quantification. Given an input CT scan, LegSegNet segments bone, skeletal muscle, subcutaneous adipose tissue, and inter/intramuscular adipose tissue. It then computes quantitative tissue measurements for downstream analysis.
