Abstract

Among the various aspects of the present disclosure is the provision of methods and systems for segmenting images and expediting a contouring process for MRI-guided adaptive radiotherapy (MR-IGART) comprising applying a convolutional neural network (CNN), wherein the CNN accurately segments organs (e.g., the liver, kidneys, stomach, bowel, or duodenum) in 3D MR images.
