基于融合卷积神经网络的术后宫颈癌靶区及危及器官自动勾画

      Automatic Post-operative Cervical Cancer Target Area and Organ at Risk Outlining Based on Fusion Convolutional Neural Network

      • 摘要: 基于CT图像的器官分割对于放疗治疗计划至关重要,制定放射治疗计划前需要对危及器官和靶区进行勾画,这既费力又费时,该研究提出了一种基于融合卷积神经网络的全自动分割方法来提高医生勾画危及器官和靶区的工作效率。选取170例术后宫颈癌IB期和IIA期患者的CT图像进行膀胱、直肠、左右股骨头和肿瘤靶区(CTV)的网络训练和自动勾画,并利用神经网络对靶区周围易于分辨的血管进行定位,实现对CTV更精准的勾画。

         

        Abstract: CT image based organ segmentation is essential for radiotherapy treatment planning, and it is laborious and time consuming to outline the endangered organs and target areas before making radiation treatment plans. This study proposes a fully automated segmentation method based on fusion convolutional neural network to improve the efficiency of physicians in outlining the endangered organs and target areas. The CT images of 170 postoperative cervical cancer stage IB and IIA patients were selected for network training and automatic outlining of bladder, rectum, femoral head and CTV, and the neural network was used to localize easily distinguishable vessels around the target area to achieve more accurate outlining of CTV.
