Bone shadow segmentation from ultrasound data for orthopedic surgery using GAN

Real-time, two (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound (US) has been investigated as a potential alternative to fluoroscopy imaging in various surgical and non-surgical orthopedic procedures. However, low signal to noise ratio, imaging artifacts and bone surfaces appearing several millimeters (mm) in thickness have hindered the wide spread adaptation of this safe imaging modality. Limited field of view and manual data collection cause...
