CACTUSS: Common Anatomical CT-US Space for US examinations. (arXiv:2207.08619v2 [eess.IV] UPDATED)

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a vascular disease in which a section of
the aorta enlarges, weakening its walls and potentially rupturing the vessel.
Abdominal ultrasound has been utilized for diagnostics, but due to its limited
image quality and operator dependency, CT scans are usually required for
monitoring and treatment planning. Recently, abdominal CT datasets have been
successfully utilized to train deep neural networks for automatic aorta
segmentation. Knowledge gathered from this solved task could therefore be
leveraged to improve …
