• Abstract summary: In this study we extended the capabilities of TotalSegmentator to MR images. We trained an nnU-Net segmentation algorithm on this dataset and calculated similarity coefficients (Dice) to evaluate the model's performance. The model significantly outperformed two other publicly available segmentation models (Dice score 0.824 versus 0.762; p0.001 and 0.762 versus 0.542; p)

• Abstract: Purpose: To develop an open-source and easy-to-use segmentation model that can automatically and robustly segment most major anatomical structures in MR images independently of the MR sequence. Materials and Methods: In this study we extended the capabilities of TotalSegmentator to MR images. 298 MR scans and 227 CT scans were used to segment 59 anatomical structures (20 organs, 18 bones, 11 muscles, 7 vessels, 3 tissue types) relevant for use cases such as organ volumetry, disease characterization, and surgical planning. The MR and CT images were randomly sampled from routine clinical studies and thus represent a real-world dataset (different ages, pathologies, scanners, body parts, sequences, contrasts, echo times, repetition times, field strengths, slice thicknesses and sites). We trained an nnU-Net segmentation algorithm on this dataset and calculated Dice similarity coefficients (Dice) to evaluate the model's performance. Results: The model showed a Dice score of 0.824 (CI: 0.801, 0.842) on the test set, which included a wide range of clinical data with major pathologies. The model significantly outperformed two other publicly available segmentation models (Dice score, 0.824 versus 0.762; p<0.001 and 0.762 versus 0.542; p<0.001). On the CT image test set of the original TotalSegmentator paper it almost matches the performance of the original TotalSegmentator (Dice score, 0.960 versus 0.970; p<0.001). Conclusion: Our proposed model extends the capabilities of TotalSegmentator to MR images. The annotated dataset (https://zenodo.org/doi/10.5281/zenodo.11367004) and open-source toolkit (https://www.github.com/wasserth/TotalSegmentator) are publicly available.

  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.

A 3D nnUNet model, dubbed as MRISegmentator-Abdomen (MRISegmentator in short), was trained on this dataset. The tool provides automatic, accurate, and robust segmentations of 62 organs and structures in T1-weighted abdominal MRI sequences.
