Organ segmentation of whole-body mouse images is essential for quantitative analysis, but is tedious and error-prone. Here the authors develop a deep learning pipeline to segment major organs and the skeleton in volumetric whole-body scans in less than a second, and present probability maps and uncertainty estimates.
