• Abstract summary: The FLARE23 challenge provides a large-scale dataset with both partially and fully annotated data. We propose to use the strategy of Semi-Supervised Learning (SSL) and iterative pseudo labeling to address FLARE23. Our approach achieves an average DSC score of 89.63% for organs and 46.07% for tumors on online validation leaderboard.

• Abstract: Deep-learning (DL) based methods are playing an important role in the task of abdominal organs and tumors segmentation in CT scans. However, the large requirements of annotated datasets heavily limit its development. The FLARE23 challenge provides a large-scale dataset with both partially and fully annotated data, which also focuses on both segmentation accuracy and computational efficiency. In this study, we propose to use the strategy of Semi-Supervised Learning (SSL) and iterative pseudo labeling to address FLARE23. Initially, a deep model (nn-UNet) trained on datasets with complete organ annotations (about 220 scans) generates pseudo labels for the whole dataset. These pseudo labels are then employed to train a more powerful segmentation model. Employing the FLARE23 dataset, our approach achieves an average DSC score of 89.63% for organs and 46.07% for tumors on online validation leaderboard. For organ segmentation, We obtain 0.9007\% DSC and 0.9493\% NSD. For tumor segmentation, we obtain 0.3785% DSC and 0.2842% NSD. Our code is available at https://github.com/USTguy/Flare23.

  This study introduces a novel segmentation technique for CT imaging, which leverages conditional probabilities to map the hierarchical structure of anatomical landmarks. The model was developed using the SAROS dataset from The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA), comprising 900 body region segmentations from 883 patients. Performance was assessed using the Dice score across various datasets, including SAROS, CT-ORG, FLARE22, LCTSC, LUNA16, and WORD.

  Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are increasingly being used to automate segmentation of organs-at-risk in radiotherapy. We investigated how much data is required to train accurate and robust head and neck auto-segmentation models. An established 3D CNN was trained from scratch with different sized datasets (25-1000 scans) to segment the brainstem, parotid glands and spinal cord in CTs. We evaluated multiple ensemble techniques to improve the performance of these models.
