- Abstract: Automatic segmentation of medical images with DL algorithms has proven to be
highly successful. With most of these algorithms, inter-observer variation is
an acknowledged problem, leading to sub-optimal results. This problem is even
more significant in post-operative clinical target volume (post-op CTV)
segmentation due to the absence of macroscopic visual tumor in the image. This
study, using post-op CTV segmentation as the test bed, tries to determine if
physician styles are consistent and learnable, if there is an impact of
physician styles on treatment outcome and toxicity; and how to explicitly deal
with physician styles in DL algorithms to facilitate its clinical acceptance. A
classifier is trained to identify which physician has contoured the CTV from
just the contour and corresponding CT scan, to determine if physician styles
are consistent and learnable. Next, we evaluate if adapting automatic
segmentation to physician styles would be clinically feasible based on a lack
of difference between outcomes. For modeling different physician styles of CTV
segmentation, a concept called physician style-aware (PSA) segmentation is
proposed which is an encoder-multidecoder network trained with perceptual loss.
With the proposed physician style-aware network (PSA-Net), Dice similarity
coefficient (DSC) accuracy increases on an average of 3.4% for all physicians
from a general model that is not style adapted. We show that stylistic
contouring variations also exist between institutions that follow the same
segmentation guidelines and show the effectiveness of the proposed method in
adapting to new institutional styles. We observed an accuracy improvement of 5%
in terms of DSC when adapting to the style of a separate institution.

We develop a generalist segmentation model that combines anatomical and pathological information, aiming to enhance the segmentation accuracy of pathological features.
Our Anatomy-Pathology Exchange (APEx) training utilizes a query-based segmentation transformer which decodes a joint feature space into query-representations for human anatomy.
In doing so, we are able to report the best results across the board on FDG-PET-CT and Chest X-Ray pathology segmentation tasks with a margin of up to 3.3% as compared to strong baseline methods.

We experimentally validate our approaches on eight benchmarks, i.e., five 2D/3D medical and three semantic segmentation datasets, with different label settings.

radiotherapy [0.6262579136517118]
In post-operative radiotherapy for prostate cancer, the cancerous prostate gland has been surgically removed, so the clinical target volume (CTV) to be irradiated encompasses the microscopic spread of tumor cells.
In current clinical practice, physicians segment CTVs manually based on their relationship with nearby organs and other clinical information.
Here, we propose a deep learning model to overcome this problem by segmenting nearby organs first, then using their relationship with the CTV to assist CTV segmentation.
