User-prompted priors boost cancer lesion segmentation in CT scans

Researchers have explored how user-provided information, known as priors, can enhance the semi-automated segmentation of cancer lesions in computed tomography scans. The study found that more complex spatial priors, such as bounding boxes and single-slice contours, significantly improved segmentation accuracy. Specifically, using contours from three orthogonal planes (axial, coronal, and sagittal) yielded the best results, achieving a mean Dice score of 0.882 on an external test set, a substantial improvement over the baseline model.

    Effect of User-Prompted Priors on Semi-Automated Cancer Lesion Segmentation in Whole-Body Computed Tomography

    In clinical oncology studies, metastatic cancer is commonly evaluated using "Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors" (RECIST), in which the diameter of up to five lesions is measured and followed over the course of treatment. However, RECIST shows limited correlation with o…
