• Abstract summary: We propose a self-training based unsupervised-learning framework that performs automatic segmentation of Vestibular Schwannoma (VS) and cochlea on high-resolution T2 scans. Our method consists of 4 main stages: 1) VS-preserving contrast conversion from contrast-enhanced T1 scan to high-resolution T2 scan, 2) training segmentation on generated T2 scans with annotations on T1 scans, and 3) Inferring pseudo-labels on non-annotated real T2 scans. Our method showed mean Dice score and Average Symmetric Surface Distance (ASSD) of 0.8570 (0.0705

• Abstract: With the advances of deep learning, many medical image segmentation studies achieve human-level performance when in fully supervised condition. However, it is extremely expensive to acquire annotation on every data in medical fields, especially on magnetic resonance images (MRI) that comprise many different contrasts. Unsupervised methods can alleviate this problem; however, the performance drop is inevitable compared to fully supervised methods. In this work, we propose a self-training based unsupervised-learning framework that performs automatic segmentation of Vestibular Schwannoma (VS) and cochlea on high-resolution T2 scans. Our method consists of 4 main stages: 1) VS-preserving contrast conversion from contrast-enhanced T1 scan to high-resolution T2 scan, 2) training segmentation on generated T2 scans with annotations on T1 scans, and 3) Inferring pseudo-labels on non-annotated real T2 scans, and 4) boosting the generalizability of VS and cochlea segmentation by training with combined data (i.e., real T2 scans with pseudo-labels and generated T2 scans with true annotations). Our method showed mean Dice score and Average Symmetric Surface Distance (ASSD) of 0.8570 (0.0705) and 0.4970 (0.3391) for VS, 0.8446 (0.0211) and 0.1513 (0.0314) for Cochlea on CrossMoDA2021 challenge validation phase leaderboard, outperforming most other approaches.

  Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging and computed tomography (CT) are two common non-invasive imaging methods for assessing patients with cardiovascular disease. CMR typically acquires multiple sparse 2D slices, with unavoidable respiratory motion artefacts between slices, whereas CT acquires isotropic dense data but uses ionising radiation. We explore the combination of Slice Shifting Algorithm (SSA), Spatial Transformer Network (STN), and Label Transformer Network (LTN) to: 1) correct respiratory motion between segmented slices, and 2) transform sparse segmentation data into dense segmentation.

• Weakly Unsupervised Domain Adaptation for Vestibular Schwannoma Segmentation [0.0]
  Vestibular schwannoma (VS) is a non-cancerous tumor located next to the ear that can cause hearing loss. As hrT2 images are currently scarce, it is less likely to train robust machine learning models to segment VS or other brain structures. We propose a weakly supervised machine learning approach that learns from only ceT1 scans and adapts to segment two structures from hrT2 scans.
