Automated segmentation of lungs and lung tumors in mouse micro-CT scans

Here, we have developed an automated image processing algorithm for segmenting lungs and individual lung tumors in in vivo micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) scans of mouse models of non-small cell lung cancer and lung fibrosis. Over 3000 scans acquired across multiple studies were used to train/v...

Popis
Shrnutí:Here, we have developed an automated image processing algorithm for segmenting lungs and individual lung tumors in in vivo micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) scans of mouse models of non-small cell lung cancer and lung fibrosis. Over 3000 scans acquired across multiple studies were used to train/validate a 3D U-net lung segmentation model and a Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier to segment individual lung tumors. The U-net lung segmentation algorithm can be used to estimate changes in soft tissue volume within lungs (primarily tumors and blood vessels), whereas the trained SVM is able to discriminate between tumors and blood vessels and identify individual tumors. The trained segmentation algorithms (1) significantly reduce time required for lung and tumor segmentation, (2) reduce bias and error associated with manual image segmentation, and (3) facilitate identification of individual lung tumors and objective assessment of changes in lung and individual tumor volumes under different experimental conditions.
