Kidney tumor segmentation using an ensembling multi-stage deep learning approach. A contribution to the KiTS19 challenge

Abstract: Precise characterization of the kidney and kidney tumor characteristics is of outmost importance in the context of kidney cancer treatment, especially for nephron sparing surgery which requires a precise localization of the tissues to be removed. The need for accurate and automatic delineation tools is at the origin of the KiTS19 challenge. It aims at accelerating the research and development in this field to aid prognosis and treatment planning by providing a characterized dataset of 300 CT scans to be segmen… Show more

“…Those approaches begin by detecting the volume of interest (VOIs) and then segmenting the target organs from the VOIs (VOIs) [ 57 ]. Regarding two-stage methods [ 12 , 41 , 58 , 59 , 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 ], Cruz et al [ 58 ] developed a method that uses deep convolutional neural networks with image processing techniques to delimit the kidneys in CT images, where they achieved up to 93.03% accuracy, so further improvements are required. Zhang et al [ 59 ] studied a cascaded two-stage framework using a 3D fully convolutional network (FCN) for kidney and tumor segmentation.…”

“…They combined deep supervision with exponential and logarithmic loss to improve the efficiency of 3D U-Net training. Santini et al [ 62 ] combined Res-Net with Res-U-Net architectures in a multi-stage DL approach called EMS-DLA that has been used for kidney tumor segmentation. The results are promising, and they might be improved if an enhanced understanding of benign cysts is factored in.…”

“…Santini et al 29 presented an ensemble multistage DL model (EMS‐DLA) to segment the kidney tumors efficiently. An integration procedure would be used between individual methods to correlate the predicted outcome from the preceding stage.…”
