Mashup Score: 8Automated Brain Tumor Detection and Segmentation for Treatment Response Assessment Using Amino Acid PET - 6 month(s) ago
Evaluation of metabolic tumor volume (MTV) changes using amino acid PET has become an important tool for response assessment in brain tumor patients. MTV is usually determined by manual or semiautomatic delineation, which is laborious and may be prone to intra- and interobserver variability. The goal of our study was to develop a method for automated MTV segmentation and to evaluate its performance for response assessment in patients with gliomas. Methods: In total, 699 amino acid PET scans using the tracer O -(2-[18F]fluoroethyl)-l-tyrosine (18F-FET) from 555 brain tumor patients at initial diagnosis or during follow-up were retrospectively evaluated (mainly glioma patients, 76%). 18F-FET PET MTVs were segmented semiautomatically by experienced readers. An artificial neural network (no new U-Net) was configured on 476 scans from 399 patients, and the network performance was evaluated on a test dataset including 223 scans from 156 patients. Surface and volumetric Dice similarity coeffi
