Deep Learning-Based Methods for Prostate Segmentation in Magnetic Resonance Imaging
2021
Magnetic Resonance Imaging-based prostate segmentation is an essential task for adaptive radiotherapy and for radiomics studies whose purpose is to identify associations between imaging features and patient outcomes. Because manual delineation is a time-consuming task, we present three deep-learning (DL) approaches, namely UNet, efficient neural network (ENet), and efficient residual factorized convNet (ERFNet), whose aim is to tackle the fully-automated, real-time, and 3D delineation process of the prostate gland on T2-weighted MRI. While UNet is used in many biomedical image delineation applications, ENet and ERFNet are mainly applied in self-driving cars to compensate for limited hardwar…
Deep learning approach for the segmentation of aneurysmal ascending aorta.
2020
Diagnosis of ascending thoracic aortic aneurysm (ATAA) is based on the measurement of the maximum aortic diameter, but size is not a good predictor of the risk of adverse events. There is growing interest in the development of novel image-derived risk strategies to improve patient risk management towards a highly individualized level. In this study, the feasibility and efficacy of deep learning for the automatic segmentation of ATAAs was investigated using UNet, ENet, and ERFNet techniques. Specifically, CT angiography done on 72 patients with ATAAs and different valve morphology (i.e., tricuspid aortic valve, TAV, and bicuspid aortic valve, BAV) were semi-automatically segmented with Mimic…
