Popis
Shrnutí:Background The cost of labeling to collect training data sets using deep learning is especially high in medical applications compared to other fields. Furthermore, due to variances in images depending on the computed tomography (CT) devices, a deep learning based segmentation model trained with a certain device often does not work with images from a different device. Methods In this study, we propose an efficient learning strategy for deep learning models in medical image segmentation. We aim to overcome the difficulties of segmentation in CT images by training a VNet segmentation model which enables rapid labeling of organs in CT images with the model obtained by transfer learning using a small number of manually labeled images, called SEED images. We established a process for generating SEED images and conducting transfer learning a model. We evaluate the performance of various segmentation models such as vanilla UNet, UNETR, Swin-UNETR and VNet. Furthermore, assuming a scenario that a model is repeatedly trained with CT images collected from multiple devices, in which is catastrophic forgetting often occurs, we examine if the performance of our model degrades. Results We show that transfer learning can train a model that does a good job of segmenting muscles with a small number of images. In addition, it was confirmed that VNet shows better performance when comparing the performance of existing semi-automated segmentation tools and other deep learning networks to muscle and liver segmentation tasks. Additionally, we confirmed that VNet is the most robust model to deal with catastrophic forgetting problems. Conclusion In the 2D CT image segmentation task, we confirmed that the CNN-based network shows better performance than the existing semi-automatic segmentation tool or latest transformer-based networks.
