Researchers have evaluated how variations in human interpretation and AI model performance affect the assessment of radiological Peritoneal Cancer Index (rPCI) scores using contrast-enhanced CT scans. The study found that while human observers showed high agreement in segmenting regions, a published nnU-Net model performed comparably but with notable deviations in specific regions. The research simulated metastasis to assess the impact of these segmentation differences on rPCI scores and classification at the PCI 20 threshold, concluding that rPCI scoring is generally robust to typical segmentation variability, with borderline cases being the primary area where expert review remains crucial.
