Researchers have developed a segmentation pipeline for brain metastases using a 5-fold nnU-Net ResEnc-L ensemble, trained on 1,296 cases with Dice + cross-entropy loss. This pipeline incorporates a post-processing cascade optimized for the lesion-wise Dice similarity coefficient (LW-DSC), achieving specific scores on sub-regions like enhancing tumor and tumor core. An out-of-fold analysis was conducted to validate the robustness of the post-processing stages, revealing that while two stages provided consistent improvements, a third only benefited the leaderboard score and did not reproduce in the out-of-fold analysis.
