Abstract(in English) In this study, we aimed at automatic extraction of spinal parts in CT images using deep learning as a foothold for automatically generating 3D mesh model of spine from CT image of patient. We used 10 spinal data which were learned and tested on U-Net for the segmentation of spine region. The percentage of correct answers that the learned spine was tested was 98.5%, and the similarity between teacher image and segmented spine image measure by Dice coefficient of having tested the unedited spinal column was 82.7%. In order to improve this similarity value, it will be effective to adjust the parameters of U-Net and to conduct 3D learning as well.
