• Authors: J\"org Sander, Bob D. de Vos and Ivana I\v{s}gum
• Abstract summary: Three state-of-the-art convolutional neural networks (CNN) were trained to automatically segment cardiac anatomical structures. Using publicly available CMR scans from the MICCAI 2017 ACDC challenge, the impact of CNN architecture and loss function for segmentation was investigated. Experiments reveal that combining automatic segmentation with simulated manual correction of detected segmentation failures leads to statistically significant performance increase.

• Abstract: Segmentation of cardiac anatomical structures in cardiac magnetic resonance images (CMRI) is a prerequisite for automatic diagnosis and prognosis of cardiovascular diseases. To increase robustness and performance of segmentation methods this study combines automatic segmentation and assessment of segmentation uncertainty in CMRI to detect image regions containing local segmentation failures. Three state-of-the-art convolutional neural networks (CNN) were trained to automatically segment cardiac anatomical structures and obtain two measures of predictive uncertainty: entropy and a measure derived by MC-dropout. Thereafter, using the uncertainties another CNN was trained to detect local segmentation failures that potentially need correction by an expert. Finally, manual correction of the detected regions was simulated. Using publicly available CMR scans from the MICCAI 2017 ACDC challenge, the impact of CNN architecture and loss function for segmentation, and the uncertainty measure was investigated. Performance was evaluated using the Dice coefficient and 3D Hausdorff distance between manual and automatic segmentation. The experiments reveal that combining automatic segmentation with simulated manual correction of detected segmentation failures leads to statistically significant performance increase.
