    Performance Comparison of Deep Learning Approach for Automatic CT Image Segmentation by Using Window Leveling
    (2021-01-01) ; ;
    Dankulchai, Pittaya
    In tumor radiotherapy process, radiologist need to make multipleorgans contouring on medical images such as CT scans for computing appropriate dose and making a suitable treatment plan for patients. This is a necessary step before treatment. This paper was written to be one of automatic image segmentation research by using deep learning. The experiment compared performance between preprocessing input datasets with custom window leveling normalization and following by organ types. We chose the bladder, the rectum and the femur as target organs in this paper. Datasets are directly obtained from Siriraj Hospital that contoured by radiologists. There are 10 datasets of each organs. We used U-Net as main structure to extract features on image then evaluated by dice similarity coefficient (DSC) and intersection over union (IoU). The experiment resulted that training with custom window leveling normalization is better performance. The bladder got DSC and IoU of 78.34% and 70.46%, femur were 39.71% and 28.03%, and rectum were 19.19% and 12.20%, respectively.

    CT Dataset Enhancement using Additional Feature Insertion for Automatic Femur Segmentation Model Based on Deep Learning
    (2022-01-01) ; ;
    Pittaya, Dankulchai
    This paper proposed to insert additional feature into input datasets (i.e., CT scans) for automatic femur segmentation model, U-Net, with respect to increase the accuracy of model performance. An additional feature is available reference information representing identity on each CT scans and has an effect on results of deep learning model training. In this experiment, choose the left-femur as the target organ, which is common organs-At-risk (OARs) for lower abdominal cancers. The automatic femur segmentation model training was separately executed through two different datasets, one cropped-dataset with additional feature and one original dimension dataset without additional feature. For additional feature, lying posture of patient when entered the CT scanner was selected. The performance results of both trained U-Net models were compered in order to observe the difference of effect. Evaluation results reported that the additional feature could increase an accuracy and precision including support prediction for the left-femur segmentation, with the Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) of 61.573% and Intersection Over Union (IoU) of 45.621%, respectively. Specifically, deep learning combining additional feature insertion on cropped-datasets was the novelty in this experiment to effectively segment the left femur.
