Segmentation Metrics: Dice Coefficient (DC) Mean Absolute Surface Distance (MAD) Mean Absolute Error (MAE) Hausdorff Distance (HD) ACC, AUC SE SP ......

Difficulty and Challenges:

• 3D Image: limitation of GPU memory & lack of pre-trained models & difficulty in training.
• The lack of annotated data.
• The image quality: low SNR & poor contrast.
• High class imbalance (mainly background).
• Significant variations in the shape and appearance of object.
• Small target with large shape variations.
• Hard Cases (Unclear boundary, big or small tumors).
• Missing or ambiguous boundaries.
• Inhomogeneous appearance and image quality.
• ......

Some Conclusion:

• In 2019, the U-Net is still state of the art.
• nnU-Net is a strong U-Net implementation that generalizes well to new datasets.
• 3D U-Net is a strong baseline for segmentation.
• Cascaded pipline is an effective way to improve tumor segmentation performance.
• Modified ground truth masks may lead to better model generalization.
• High realism is not equivalent to meaningful features that improve classification performance.
• Jointly learning registration and segmentation is superior over separate learning.
• TL (Transfer Learning) should be applied for performance improvement.
• MTL (Multi-Task Learning) is goog fit for small data size.
• Coarse to fine approach is important.
• Multi-View method.
• Shape and Spatial Priors are important for performance improvement.
• ......
