用深度学习自动分割子宫肌瘤,提升诊断效率与一致性。

Deep Learning-Based Automated Segmentation of Uterine Myomas

  • 基于公开的子宫肌瘤MRI数据集,构建自动化分割基准方法。
  • 相比人工分割,显著减少耗时并降低专家间差异。
  • 为未来研究提供可复现的评估标准,适合医学影像研究者。

子宫肌瘤是女性生殖系统最常见的良性肿瘤,尤其在育龄女性中患病率超过70%,对女性生殖健康造成重大负担。临床症状如异常子宫出血、不孕、盆腔疼痛和压迫感,在很大程度上影响治疗决策,而这些决策又依赖于肌瘤的大小、数量及解剖位置。磁共振成像(MRI)是一种非侵入性且高度准确的影像学手段,常用于子宫肌瘤的诊断。精确分割肌瘤需对子宫及肌瘤进行体积、形状和空间位置的评估,但该过程耗时费力,且受内外部专家差异影响。因此,亟需一种准确、自动化的分割方法。近年来,深度学习在医学图像分割中表现优异,超越传统方法,具备实现全自动分割的潜力。尽管已有研究探索使用深度学习进行子宫肌瘤自动分割,但多数工作基于私有数据集,难以验证与比较。本研究利用公开的子宫肌瘤MRI数据集(UMD),建立自动化分割的基准,推动该领域的标准化评估与未来研究发展。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Uterine fibroids (myomas) are the most common benign tumors of the female reproductive system, particularly among women of childbearing age. With a prevalence exceeding 70%, they pose a significant burden on female reproductive health. Clinical symptoms such as abnormal uterine bleeding, infertility, pelvic pain, and pressure-related discomfort play a crucial role in guiding treatment decisions, which are largely influenced by the size, number, and anatomical location of the fibroids. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive and highly accurate imaging modality commonly used by clinicians for the diagnosis of uterine fibroids. Segmenting uterine fibroids requires a precise assessment of both the uterus and fibroids on MRI scans, including measurements of volume, shape, and spatial location. However, this process is labor intensive and time consuming and subjected to variability due to intra- and inter-expert differences at both pre- and post-treatment stages. As a result, there is a critical need for an accurate and automated segmentation method for uterine fibroids. In recent years, deep learning algorithms have shown re-markable improvements in medical image segmentation, outperforming traditional methods. These approaches offer the potential for fully automated segmentation. Several studies have explored the use of deep learning models to achieve automated segmentation of uterine fibroids. However, most of the previous work has been conducted using private datasets, which poses challenges for validation and comparison between studies. In this study, we leverage the publicly available Uterine Myoma MRI Dataset (UMD) to establish a baseline for automated segmentation of uterine fibroids, enabling standardized evaluation and facilitating future research in this domain.
