A fully automatic U-net model was able to segment lumbosacral plexus accurately and shorten the segmentation time significantly.
Figure 3. Segmentation results of the 3D lumbosacral plexus. 3D model of manual segmentation (a,b) and U-Net algorithm segmentation (c,d) of a 53 years old woman with degeneration of lumbar vertebrae and disc herniation. The DCE, PPV and SEN between the U-net and rater is 0.867, 0.884, and 0.850, respectively.
