Abstract(in English) Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is an intractable disease in which voluntary muscles atrophy gradully due to degeneration of motor neurons. A definitive method for ALS diagnosis is required but it still has not been established. The quantitative information of skeletal muscle region such as volume and CT value that can be obtained from CT images may be useful for supporting ALS diagnosis. In this study, as a preliminary step to obtain quantitative information on skeletal muscles, we investigated an automatic method based on 3D Deep CNN for automatically segmatation surface skeletal muscle regions from whole-body CT images. The experimental results demonstrated that accuracies of the segmetanted skeletal muscle regions showed a mean value of 80.5% on Jaccard coefficient, and 88.8% on Dice coefficient by comapring to the human sketches on 21 whole body CT scans.
