    结直肠癌CT半自动分割与特征提取一致性分析

    Consistency between CT semi-automatic segmentation and feature extraction of colorectal cancer

    • 摘要: 目的:评估基于CT的半自动分割方法分割结直肠癌靶区的可行性。方法:回顾性分析147例术后病理确诊患者的增强CT静脉期薄层图像,放射科医生使用MITK手动分割病灶作为金标准,使用一种基于拓扑感知的深度学习方法DeepCRC半自动分割病灶。比较感兴趣区(ROI)中提取包括肿瘤总体积(GTV)在内的影像组学特征,使用类内相关系数(ICC)作为GTV以及影像组学一致性的评估。通过分析半自动和手动分割结果之间的Dice相似系数(DSC)、体积相似度(VS)评价DeepCRC分割肿瘤区域的可重复性。结果:DeepCRC与手动分割的体积具有良好一致性:ICC为0.922(95%CI: 0.896 ~ 0.942)。在提取的1834个影像组学特征中,88.4%(n=1621)的特征表现出高一致性(ICC > 0.75)。与人类观察者间手动分割的DSC(0.831±0.153)和VS(0.852±0.079)相比,DeepCRC可重复性良好,DSC为(0.939±0.134)、VS为(0.950±0.110)。结论:DeepCRC在结直肠癌分割中表现出较高的一致性和可重复性,其对影像组学特征提取的影响可控,为标准化影像组学分析和临床应用提供了技术支持。

       

      Abstract: Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of a CT-based semi-automatic segmentation method for target volume segmentation of colorectal cancer. Methods: Patients (n = 147) with postoperative pathological diagnosis were retrospectively analyzed. The radiologists used MITK to manually segment the lesions as the reference standard. In addition, DeepCRC, a deep learning method based on topology awareness, was used to segment the lesions semi-automatically. Radiomics features, including gross tumor volume (GTV), were extracted from the region of interest (ROI), and the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to evaluate the consistency between GTV and radiomics. The Dice similarity coefficient (DSC) and volume similarity (VS) between the semi-automatic and manual segmentation results were analyzed to evaluate the repeatability of DeepCRC in tumor region segmentation. Results: There was good agreement between DeepCRC and manual segmentation ICC = 0.922 (95% CI: 0.896–0.942). Among the 1834 extracted radiomics features, 88.4% (n = 1621) showed a high consistency (ICC > 0.75). Compared with the DSC (0.831 ± 0.153) and VS (0.852 ± 0.079) of manual segmentation among human observers, DeepCRC had good repeatability with DSC (0.939 ± 0.134) and VS (0.950 ± 0.110). Conclusions: DeepCRC shows a high consistency and repeatability in colorectal cancer segmentation, and its influence on radiomics feature extraction is controllable, which provides technical support for standardized radiomics analysis and clinical application.
