Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
With the development of computer technology, more and more deep learning algorithms are widely used in medical image processing. Viewing CT images is a very usual and important way in diagnosing spinal fracture diseases, but correctly reading CT images and effectively segmenting spinal lesions or not is deeply depended on doctors' clinical experiences. In this paper, we present a method of combining U-net, dense blocks and dilated convolution to segment lesions objectively, so as to give a help in diagnosing spinal diseases and provide a reference clinically. First, we preprocess and augment CT images of spinal lesions. Second, we present the DenseU-net network model consists of dense blocks and U-net to raise the depth of training network. Third, we introduce dilated convolution into DenseU-net to construct proposed DDU-net(Dilated Dense U-net), in order to raise receptive field of CT images for getting more lesions information. The experiments show that DDU-net has a good segmentation performance of spinal lesions, which can build a solid foundation for both doctors and patients.
