nnU-Net is a self-configuring method for deep learning-based biomedical image segmentation, developed by the Applied Computer Vision Lab (ACVL) of Helmholtz Imaging and the Division of Medical Image Computing at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ). It is designed to automatically adapt to a given dataset, analyzing the provided training cases to configure a matching U-Net-based segmentation pipeline without requiring expertise from the user. The tool provides pretrained models for Pancreas and Pancreas tumor segmentation, Colon cancer primaries segmentation, Abdominal organ segmentation, Liver and liver tumor segmentation, Kidney and kidney tumor segmentation, Brain Tumor segmentation and Hippocampus (MR data) segmentation
