Rapid advances in auto-segmentation of organs at risk and target volumes in head and neck cancer.

TL;DR: The current state-of-the-art for AS for HNC radiotherapy is outlined in order to predict how this will rapidly change with the introduction of artificial intelligence, specifically on delineation accuracy and time saving.

Auto-segmentation of organs at risk for head and neck radiotherapy planning: From atlas-based to deep learning methods.

TL;DR: This review systematically analyzed 78 relevant publications on auto-segmentation of OARs in the H&N region from 2008 to date and provided critical discussions and recommendations from various perspectives.

Test-time adaptable neural networks for robust medical image segmentation

TL;DR: In this article, a concatenation of two sub-networks, a relatively shallow image normalization network and a deep CNN segmentation network, is proposed for medical image segmentation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Accurate and robust whole-head segmentation from magnetic resonance images for individualized head modeling.

TL;DR: A new method, called CHARM, for automated segmentation of fifteen different head tissues from magnetic resonance (MR) scans is presented, which compares favorably to two freely available software tools on a five-tissue segmentation task, while obtaining reasonable segmentation accuracy over all fifteen tissues.

Organ at Risk Segmentation for Head and Neck Cancer Using Stratified Learning and Neural Architecture Search

TL;DR: Extensive 4-fold cross-validation on 142 H&N cancer patients with 42 manually labeled OARs, the most comprehensive OAR dataset to date, demonstrates that both pipeline- and NAS-stratification significantly improves quantitative performance over the state-of-the-art.

Automated segmentation of MS lesions from multi-channel MR images

TL;DR: In this paper, a fully automated model-based method for segmentation of multiple sclerosis lesions from multi-channel MR images is described, which simultaneously corrects for MR field inhomogeneities, estimates tissue class distribution parameters and classifies the image voxels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sampling image segmentations for uncertainty quantification.

TL;DR: A method to automatically produce plausible image segmentation samples from a single expert segmentation is introduced, which can have useful applications in the field of uncertainty quantification, and an illustration is provided in radiotherapy planning.

Error Corrective Boosting for Learning Fully Convolutional Networks with Limited Data

TL;DR: SkipDeconv-Net (SD-Net) as mentioned in this paper combines skip connections with the unpooling strategy for upsampling to address the challenges of severe class imbalance and errors along boundaries.
Journal ArticleDOI

Geometric and dosimetric evaluations of atlas-based segmentation methods of MR images in the head and neck region.

TL;DR: The geometric accuracy and the ability to achieve clinically acceptable treatment plans indicate the suitability of using atlas-based contours for RT treatment planning purposes, and the low correlations between geometric and dosimetric measures suggest that geometric measures alone are not sufficient to predict the dosimetry impact of segmentation inaccuracies on treatment planning.

Image Features for Brain Lesion Segmentation Using Random Forests

TL;DR: A set of hand-selected, voxel-based image features highly suitable for the tissue discrimination task and embedded in a random decision forest framework, the proposed method was applied to sub-acute ischemic stroke, acute isChemic stroke and glioma segmentation with only minor adaptation.
