Background The contact between the aorta, main pulmonary artery (MPA), main pulmonary vein, vena cava (VC), and esophagus affects segmentation of the aorta and MPA in non‐contrast‐enhanced computed tomography (NCE‐CT) images. Purpose A two‐stage stacked U‐Net and localization of the aorta and MPA we...
