Assessment of Multiple Atlas-Based Segmentation in Prostate Bed Contouring

چکیده
Dice similarity coefficients (DSC) of single best matching (SBM) and multiple best matching (MBM) prostate bed automated atlas-based segmentation (AABS) contours were compared to an expert panel gold standard. DSC scores improved with MBM in bladder (0.73-0.82) and penile bulb (0.40-0.54), with no improvement in other organs. Categories: Radiation Oncology, Urology, Oncology

Technology assessment of automated atlas based segmentation in prostate bed contouring
BACKGROUND Prostate bed (PB) contouring is time consuming and associated with inter-observer variability. We evaluated an automated atlas-based segmentation (AABS) engine in its potential to reduce contouring time and inter-observer variability. METHODS An atlas builder (AB) manually contoured the prostate bed, rectum, left femoral head (LFH), right femoral head (RFH), bladder, and penile bul...
متن کاملMulti-atlas-based Segmentation of Pelvic Structures from Ct Scans for Planning in Prostate Cancer Radiotherapy
In prostate cancer radiotherapy, the accurate identification of the prostate and organs at risk in planning computer tomography (CT) images is an important part of the therapy planning and optimization. Manually contouring these organs can be a time consuming process and subject to intraand inter-expert variability. Automatic identification of organ boundaries from these images is challenging d...
متن کاملCreation of RTOG compliant patient CT-atlases for automated atlas based contouring of local regional breast and high-risk prostate cancers
BACKGROUND Increasing use of IMRT to treat breast and prostate cancers at high risk of regional nodal spread relies on accurate contouring of targets and organs at risk, which is subject to significant inter- and intra-observer variability. This study sought to evaluate the performance of an atlas based deformable registration algorithm to create multi-patient CT based atlases for automated con...
متن کاملMulti-Atlas Segmentation of the Prostate: A Zooming Process with Robust Registration and Atlas Selection
As an entry to the MICCAI 2012 Prostate Segmentation Challenge, this paper presents a multi-atlas-based automatic pipeline for segmenting prostate in MR images. Image registration is needed to transfer expert-defined ground-truth prostate segmentation from atlases onto target image. However, registration is rendered difficult in this dataset, due to different images having different field of vi...
متن کاملComparison of state-of-the-art atlas-based bone segmentation approaches from brain MR images for MR-only radiation planning and PET/MR attenuation correction
Introduction: Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging has emerged as a valuable tool in radiation treatment (RT) planning as well as Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging owing to its superior soft-tissue contrast. Due to the fact that there is no direct transformation from voxel intensity in MR images into electron density, itchr('39')s crucial to generate a pseudo-CT (Computed Tomography) image ...
