Deep learning-based three-dimensional segmentation of the prostate on computed tomography images

Abstract: Segmentation of the prostate in computed tomography (CT) is used for planning and guidance of prostate treatment procedures. However, due to the low soft-tissue contrast of the images, manual delineation of the prostate on CT is a time-consuming task with high interobserver variability. We developed an automatic, three-dimensional (3-D) prostate segmentation algorithm based on a customized U-Net architecture. Our dataset contained 92 3-D abdominal CT scans from 92 patients, of which 69 images were used for tra… Show more

“…With the rapid development of information technology, a large amount of data has been accumulated in various fields. In the medical field, more and more data sets have been collected, especially medical image data sets [ 1 ]. In recent years, deep learning has made great breakthroughs in the field of natural image processing, which can achieve good results in many tasks.…”

“…Comparing the DSC trend (from 81.5% to 90.8% using 0 to 30 input points, respectively) to the average interexpert observer difference in manual prostate segmentation in CT on the same test dataset (∼92%) 13 shows that using minimal user interaction could improve the segmentation results to approach the expert observer performance. The DSC score between the two manual segmentations were measured as the interobserver difference, and the average of DSC scores across the test set was reported as the average interobserver difference.…”

“…For this work, we used the hyperparameters from our previous study for prostate segmentation in CT images 13 . We also avoided max pooling along z direction according to our previous observations 13 . Optimizing the hyperparameters of the network to this specific task could improve the results.…”

“…These results were comparable and in general better than other methods reported in the literature. • Shahedi et al developed an automatic, three-dimensional (3-D) prostate segmentation algorithm based on a customized U-Net, which is a type of FCN [35]. In the training phase, abdominal CT images of 69 patients (75% of all images available) were used and applied that of 23 patients (25% of all images) in the test phase.…”
