• Abstract summary: Consistent segmentation of COVID-19 patient's CT scans across multiple time points is essential to assess disease progression and response to therapy accurately. Existing automatic and interactive segmentation models for medical images only use data from a single time point (static) We propose a new single network model for interactive segmentation that fully utilizes all available past information to refine the segmentation of follow-up scans.

• Abstract: Consistent segmentation of COVID-19 patient's CT scans across multiple time points is essential to assess disease progression and response to therapy accurately. Existing automatic and interactive segmentation models for medical images only use data from a single time point (static). However, valuable segmentation information from previous time points is often not used to aid the segmentation of a patient's follow-up scans. Also, fully automatic segmentation techniques frequently produce results that would need further editing for clinical use. In this work, we propose a new single network model for interactive segmentation that fully utilizes all available past information to refine the segmentation of follow-up scans. In the first segmentation round, our model takes 3D volumes of medical images from two-time points (target and reference) as concatenated slices with the additional reference time point segmentation as a guide to segment the target scan. In subsequent segmentation refinement rounds, user feedback in the form of scribbles that correct the segmentation and the target's previous segmentation results are additionally fed into the model. This ensures that the segmentation information from previous refinement rounds is retained. Experimental results on our in-house multiclass longitudinal COVID-19 dataset show that the proposed model outperforms its static version and can assist in localizing COVID-19 infections in patient's follow-up scans.

  We introduce a novel approach that explicitly incorporates temporal differences between baseline and follow-up scans through a unique architectural inductive bias called Difference Weighting Block. We achieve superior scores in lesion segmentation as well as lesion detection as compared to state-of-the-art longitudinal and single timepoint models across two datasets.

  This paper presents a novel and generic human-in-the-loop scheme for efficiently transferring a segmentation model from a small-scale labelled dataset to a larger-scale unlabelled dataset for multi-organ segmentation in CT. The results show that our scheme can not only improve the performance by 19.7% on Dice, but also expedite the cost time of manual labelling from 13.87 min to 1.51 min per CT volume during the model transfer, demonstrating the clinical usefulness with promising potentials.
