Automatic Abdominal Multi Organ Segmentation using Residual UNet

Abstract

Abstract Automated segmentation of abdominal organs plays an important role in supporting computer-assisted diagnosis, radiotherapy, biomarker extraction, surgery navigation, and treatment planning. Segmenting multiple abdominal organs using a single algorithm would improve model development efficiency and accelerate model deployment into clinical workflows. To achieve broadly generalized performance, we trained a residual UNet using 500 CT/MRI scans collected from multi-center, multi-vendor, multi-phase, multi-disease patients, each with voxel-level annotation of 15 abdominal organs. Using the model trained on multimodality (CT/MRI), we achieved an average dice of 0.8990 in the held-out test dataset with only CT scans (N=100). An average dice of 0.8948 was achieved in the held-out test dataset with both CT and MRI scans (N=120. Our results demonstrate broad generalization of the model.
