ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:
GKRS is an effective treatment for smaller intracranial tumors with a high control rate and low risk of complications. Target delineation in medical MR images is essential in the planning of GKRS and follow-up. A deep learning-based algorithm can effectively segment the targets from medical images and has been widely explored. However, state-of-the-art deep learning-based target delineation uses fixed sizes, and the isotropic voxel size may not be suitable for stereotactic MR images which use different anisotropic voxel sizes and numbers of slices according to the lesion size and location for clinical GKRS planning. This study developed an automatic deep learning-based segmentation scheme for stereotactic MR images.METHODS:
We retrospectively collected stereotactic MR images from 506 patients with VS, 1,069 patients with meningioma and 574 patients with BM who had been treated using GKRS; the lesion contours and individual T1W+C and T2W MR images were extracted from the GammaPlan system. The three-dimensional patching-based training strategy and dual-pathway architecture were used to manage inconsistent FOVs and anisotropic voxel size. Furthermore, we used two-parametric MR image as training input to segment the regions with different image characteristics (e.g., cystic lesions) effectively.RESULTS:
Our results for VS and BM demonstrated that the model trained using two-parametric MR images significantly outperformed the model trained using single-parametric images with median Dice coefficients (0.91, 0.05 versus 0.90, 0.06, and 0.82, 0.23 versus 0.78, 0.34, respectively), whereas predicted delineations in meningiomas using the dual-pathway model were dominated by single-parametric images (median Dice coefficients 0.83, 0.17 versus 0.84, 0.22). Finally, we combined three data sets to train the models, achieving the comparable or even higher testing median Dice (VS 0.91, 0.07; meningioma 0.83, 0.22; BM 0.84, 0.23) in three diseases while using two-parametric as input.CONCLUSIONS:
Our proposed deep learning-based tumor segmentation scheme was successfully applied to multiple types of intracranial tumor (VS, meningioma and BM) undergoing GKRS and for segmenting the tumor effectively from stereotactic MR image volumes for use in GKRS planning.Palabras clave
