Towards Intelligent Robust Detection of Anatomical Structures in Incomplete Volumetric Data

In routine clinical practice, the radiologist is required to read and interpret a large variety of medical image scans and produce a corresponding report  (Lang et al., 2013). 3D Computed Tomography (CT) is typically used to support diagnosis of brain hemorrhages, brain tumors and aneurysms, detection of complex bone fractures, advanced cancer screening, radiation therapy, and so on (Hess et al., 2014). The process of reading 3D-CT scans is parti cularly tedious, considering the large size of the scans, quantitative reporting requirements or image quality limitations due to reconstruction artifacts (Barrett and Keat, 2004).
