Purpose: Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are a rare form of cancer that can occur anywhere in the body and commonly metastasizes. The large variance in location and aggressiveness of the tumors makes it a difficult cancer to treat. Assessments of the whole-body tumor burden in a patient image allow for better tracking of disease progression and inform better treatment decisions. Currently, radiologists rely on qualitative assessments of this metric since manual segmentation is unfeasible within a typical busy clinical workflow. Methods: We address these challenges by extending the application of the nnU-net pipeline to produce automatic NET segmentation models. We utilize the ideal imaging type of 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT to produce segmentation masks from which to calculate total tumor burden metrics. We provide a human-level baseline for the task and perform ablation experiments of model inputs, architectures, and loss functions. Results: Our dataset is comprised of 915 PET/CT scans and is divided into a held-out test set (87 cases) and 5 training subsets to perform cross-validation. The proposed models achieve test Dice scores of 0.644, on par with our inter-annotator Dice score on a subset 6 patients of 0.682. If we apply our modified Dice score to the predictions, the test performance reaches a score of 0.80. Conclusion: In this paper, we demonstrate the ability to automatically generate accurate NET segmentation masks given PET images through supervised learning. We publish the model for extended use and to support the treatment planning of this rare cancer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
