Scientific Breakthrough |
In order not to be limited by the hardware, the deep learning models used in this technology has undergone a huge number of calculations on GPU cloud of National Center for High-performance Computingmany modules-combination trialsrevisions. The current segmentation accuracy (DSC score) is: lung : 99.3, liver: 95.4, heart: 93.9, stomach: 88.9, esophagus: 80.8, kidney: 93.5, while the state-of-the-art performance are: lung: 99.3, liver: 94.6, heart: 93.9, stomach: 89.2, esophagus: 81.6, kidney: 93.8. |
Industrial Applicability |
Currently doctors need to manually draw the borders of organs around the tumor on the patient’s CT images before the radiotherapy, so that the treatment planning software can accurately calculate the required irradiation anglethe corresponding radiation dose. If the angle is slightly deviated, it will cause unnecessary radiation damage to the healthy tissues. The computer automatic segmentation model of this system has fast calculation speedfixed output quality. The fine-tuning can be done within thirty minutes, which saves a lot of timeenergy for the physician in comparison. |
