    Abstract
    Anatomical image segmentation is one of the foundations for medical planning. Recently, convolutional neural networks (CNN) have achieved much success in segmenting volumetric (3D) images when a large number of fully annotated 3D samples are available. However, rarely a volumetric medical image dataset containing a sufficient number of segmented 3D images is accessible since providing manual segmentation masks is monotonous and time-consuming. Thus, to alleviate the burden of manual annotation, we attempt to effectively train a 3D CNN using a sparse annotation where ground truth on just one 2D slice of the axial axis of each training 3D image is available. To tackle this problem, we propose...
