将解剖结构知识融入nnUNet,提升PET/CT肿瘤分割精度。

Autopet III challenge: Incorporating anatomical knowledge into nnUNet for lesion segmentation in PET/CT

  • 基于MIP图像识别扫描所用示踪剂,实现自动分类。
  • 为不同示踪剂分别训练nnUNet集成模型,提升性能。
  • 适用于多中心、多示踪剂的临床肿瘤分割任务。

PET/CT中的病灶分割对精准肿瘤评估至关重要,支持个性化治疗并提高肿瘤学诊断精度。然而,人工分割耗时且存在观察者间差异。随着PET/CT临床应用增加,基于深度学习的自动化分割方法愈发重要。autoPET III挑战聚焦于多示踪剂、多中心环境下肿瘤病灶的自动化分割,旨在提供定量、鲁棒且可泛化的解决方案。本研究在前两届基础上引入更丰富的数据集,包含来自两家临床中心的两种示踪剂(FDG与PSMA)。我们开发了一个分类器,通过PET扫描的最大强度投影(MIP)判断所用示踪剂。针对每种示踪剂分别训练独立的nnUNet集成模型,并将解剖标签作为多标签任务输入以增强性能。最终提交结果在公开的FDG和PSMA数据集上分别获得76.90%和61.33%的交叉验证Dice分数。代码已开源:https://github.com/hakal104/autoPETIII/

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Lesion segmentation in PET/CT imaging is essential for precise tumor characterization, which supports personalized treatment planning and enhances diagnostic precision in oncology. However, accurate manual segmentation of lesions is time-consuming and prone to inter-observer variability. Given the rising demand and clinical use of PET/CT, automated segmentation methods, particularly deep-learning-based approaches, have become increasingly more relevant. The autoPET III Challenge focuses on advancing automated segmentation of tumor lesions in PET/CT images in a multitracer multicenter setting, addressing the clinical need for quantitative, robust, and generalizable solutions. Building on previous challenges, the third iteration of the autoPET challenge introduces a more diverse dataset featuring two different tracers (FDG and PSMA) from two clinical centers. To this extent, we developed a classifier that identifies the tracer of the given PET/CT based on the Maximum Intensity Projection of the PET scan. We trained two individual nnUNet-ensembles for each tracer where anatomical labels are included as a multi-label task to enhance the model's performance. Our final submission achieves cross-validation Dice scores of 76.90% and 61.33% for the publicly available FDG and PSMA datasets, respectively. The code is available at https://github.com/hakal104/autoPETIII/ .
