23 Conclusions Body part/organ recognition is essential in automatic medical image analysis : anatomy identification and organ segmentation Compared to text-based body part retrieval in DICOM header, image based organ recognition is accurate and fast with machine learning (ML) algorithm. We implemented a ML powered automatic organ classifier for CT datasets with a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) followed by an organ dose calculation. We labeled 16 different organs from axial views of CT images. The resultant classified organ was automatically mapped to the slab number of a mathematical phantom to determine the scan range of ImPACT CT dose calculator. This technique can be used for patient-specific organ dose estimation since the location and sizes of organs for each patient can be calculated independently.
