Accurately segmenting the hippocampus and precisely calculating the volume of the hippocampus is of great significance for predicting Alzheimer\u2019s disease and amnesia. Most of the segmentation algorithms currently involved are based on templates, such as the more popular FreeSufer.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>This study proposes Deephipp, a deep learning network based on a 3D dense block using an attention mechanism for accurate segmentation of the hippocampus. DeepHipp is based on the following novelties: (i) DeepHipp adopts powerful data augmentation schemes to enhance the segmentation ability. (ii) DeepHipp is designed to incorporate 3D dense-block to capture multiple-scale features of the hippocampus. (iii) DeepHipp creatively uses the attention mechanism in the field of hippocampal image segmentation, extracting useful hippocampus information in a massive feature map, and improving the accuracy and sensitivity of the model.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>We describe the illustrative results and show extensive qualitative and quantitative comparisons with other methods. Our achievement demonstrates that the accuracy of DeepHipp can reach 83.63%, which is superior to most existing methods in terms of accuracy and efficiency of hippocampus segmentation. It is noticeable that deep learning can potentially lead to an effective segmentation of medical images.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12880-023-01103-5","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,13]],"date-time":"2023-10-13T14:02:30Z","timestamp":1697205750000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["DeepHipp: accurate segmentation of hippocampus using 3D dense-block based on attention mechanism"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Han","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cai","family":"Lei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Di","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Liwei","family":"Gao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jingyang","family":"Gao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,13]]},"reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"1103_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"721","DOI":"10.1016\/S0306-4522(99)00476-5","volume":"95","author":"M Bobinski","year":"1999","unstructured":"Bobinski M, de Leon MJ, Wegiel J, DeSanti S, Convit A, Saint Louis LA, et al.
