摘要
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become an essential and a frontline technique in the detection of brain tumor. However, segmenting tumors manually from scans is laborious and time-consuming. This has led to an increasing trend towards fully automated methods for precise tumor segmentation in MRI scans. Accurate tumor segmentation is crucial for improved diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. This study benchmarks and evaluates four widely used CNN-based methods for brain tumor segmentation CaPTk, 2DVNet, EnsembleUNets, and ResNet50. Using 1251 multimodal MRI scans from the BraTS2021 dataset, we compared the performance of these methods against a reference dataset of segmented images assisted by radiologists. This comparison was conducted using segmented images directly and further by radiomic features extracted from the segmented images using pyRadiomics. Performance was assessed using the Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) and Hausdorff Distance (HD). EnsembleUNets excelled, achieving a DSC of 0.93 and an HD of 18, outperforming the other methods. Further comparative analysis of radiomic features confirmed EnsembleUNets as the most precise segmentation method, surpassing other methods. EnsembleUNets recorded a Concordance Correlation Coefficient (CCC) of 0.79, a Total Deviation Index (TDI) of 1.14, and a Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of 0.53, underscoring its superior performance. We also performed validation on an independent dataset of 611 samples (UPENN-GBM), which further supported the accuracy of EnsembleUNets, with a DSC of 0.85 and an HD of 17.5. These findings provide valuable insight into the efficacy of EnsembleUNets, supporting informed decisions for accurate brain tumor segmentation.
