Deep Learning-Based Rectum Segmentation on Low-field Prostate MRI to Assist Image-guided Biopsy

Published in Proceedings of SPIE, Medical Imaging 2023: Image-Guided Procedures, Robotic Interventions, and Modeling, 2023

This study evaluates whether radiomics features from CT scans can predict 5-year survival in gastric cancer patients.

  • Data: 406 patient CT scans; 168 survived, 238 did not.
  • Approach: Tumor segmentation followed by extraction of 103 radiomics features using PyRadiomics.
  • Two Methods:
    • 2D: Features from a single CT slice.
    • Quasi-3D: Weighted average features from multiple slices.
  • Feature Reduction: PCA reduced features to 11 (2D) and 7 (3D).
  • Models Tested: Logistic Regression (LRM), ANN, and SVM.
  • Best Performance: LRM with quasi-3D features (AUC = 0.72), but not significantly better than 2D (AUC = 0.70, p = 0.21).
