Deep learning is proven to help with common medical image processing procedures, namely segmentation. Labeling data is a core requirement for training a deep learning model; this is time-consuming and expert annotators are in short supply. Strategies that lower data annotation requirements are highly desirable. In this study, we adapt cross-pseudo supervision (CPS) for 3D medical segmentation, a state-of-art semi-supervised deep-learning method where labeled and unlabeled data are used in conjunction to further improve the resulting model. Using the 2021 BraTS dataset, a fully labeled publicly available brain tumor dataset, we train CPS-based networks using a varying number of labeled and unlabeled samples and compare the resulting models against the fully-supervised baseline. The results show that CPS improves performance scores across all combinations of dataset sizes, with an increase in the Dice similarity coefficient (DSC) of 2.6-4.2% and a decrease in the 95th percentile Hausdorff distance (95% HD) of 24-27%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
