• Title: Rethinking Abdominal Organ Segmentation (RAOS) in the clinical scenario: A robustness evaluation benchmark with challenging cases
• Authors: Xiangde Luo, Zihan Li, Shaoting Zhang, Wenjun Liao, Guotai Wang,
• Abstract summary: RAOS dataset comprises 413 CT scans from 413 patients with 17 (female) or 19 (male) labelled organs, manually delineated by oncologists. We grouped scans based on clinical information into 1) diagnosis/radiotherapy (317 volumes), 2) partial excision without the whole organ missing (22 volumes), and 3) excision with the whole organ missing (74 volumes) RAOS provides a potential benchmark for evaluating model robustness including organ hallucination.

• Abstract: Deep learning has enabled great strides in abdominal multi-organ segmentation, even surpassing junior oncologists on common cases or organs. However, robustness on corner cases and complex organs remains a challenging open problem for clinical adoption. To investigate model robustness, we collected and annotated the RAOS dataset comprising 413 CT scans ($\sim$80k 2D images, $\sim$8k 3D organ annotations) from 413 patients each with 17 (female) or 19 (male) labelled organs, manually delineated by oncologists. We grouped scans based on clinical information into 1) diagnosis/radiotherapy (317 volumes), 2) partial excision without the whole organ missing (22 volumes), and 3) excision with the whole organ missing (74 volumes). RAOS provides a potential benchmark for evaluating model robustness including organ hallucination. It also includes some organs that can be very hard to access on public datasets like the rectum, colon, intestine, prostate and seminal vesicles. We benchmarked several state-of-the-art methods in these three clinical groups to evaluate performance and robustness. We also assessed cross-generalization between RAOS and three public datasets. This dataset and comprehensive analysis establish a potential baseline for future robustness research: \url{https://github.com/Luoxd1996/RAOS}.

In addition to our original FocusNet, we employ a novel adversarial shape constraint on small organs to ensure the consistency between estimated small-organ shapes and organ shape prior knowledge.
