OPENGTN

The research in openGTN was performed within a network of 7 R&D institutes spread over Europe. The Medical Image Analysis group (IMAG/e) of the Department of Biomedical Engineering of the Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands, coordinated the project and hosted 3 Early Stage Researchers (ESRs), supported by the highly prestigious and competitive Marie Curie Innovative Training Networks (ITN) fellowship program... The "Open Ground Truth Training Network" (openGTN) research project was about the development of methods for the generation of large quantities of simulated and synthesized magnetic resonance image (MRI) data, with annotations of relevant anatomies. These data are needed for the training and validation of image analysis algorithms (registration, segmentation, quantification), especially for machine learning approaches such as deep learning using convolutional neural networks (goal 1). In openGTN the focus was on image segmentation. The project is finalized, the..
