Fully automated brain resection cavity delineation for radiation target volume definition in glioblastoma patients using deep learning
2020
Radiation Oncology
We evaluated the segmentation method in terms of Dice coefficient (DC) and estimated volume measurements. ...
We did not detect a statistically significant difference of the measured RC volumes for the different raters and the automated method (Kruskal-Wallis test: chi-square = 1.46, p = 0.69). ...
Fully automatic segmentation, where no interaction of the user is required, has the potential to substantially limit the time for target volume and OAR definition. ...

A Method for Planning Safe Trajectories in Image-Guided Keyhole Neurosurgery
[chapter]
2010
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
The trajectory risk is evaluated based on the tool placement uncertainty, on the proximity of critical brain structures, and on a predefined table of quantitative geometric risk measures. ...
Our results on five targets show a significant reduction in trajectory risk and a shortening of the preoperative planning time as compared to the current routine method. ...
