Accelerating Medical Image Segmentation with NVIDIA Tensor Cores and TensorFlow 2 NVIDIA Developer Blog

Medical image segmentation is a hot topic in the deep learning community. Proof of that is the number of challenges, competitions, and research projects being conducted in this area, which only rises year over year. Among all the different approaches to this problem, U-Net has become the backbone of many of the top-performing solutions for both 2D and 3D segmentation tasks. This is due to its simplicity, versatility, and effectiveness. When practitioners are confronted with a new segmentation task, the first step commonly is to use an existent implementation of U-Net as a backbone.
