In this work we employ DeepMedic [1], a 3D CNN architecture previously presented for lesion segmentation, which we further improve by adding residual connections. We also present a series of experiments on the BRATS 2015 training database for evaluating the robustness of the network when less training data are available or less filters are used, aiming to shed some light on requirements for employing such a system. Our method was further benchmarked on the BRATS 2016 Challenge, where it achieved very good performance despite the simplicity of the pipeline.}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/deepmedic-brain-tumor-segmentation/}, pages = {138-149}, }
