Automatic segmentation of head and neck primary tumors on MRI using a multi-view CNN

Jens P. E. Schouten et al.

Summary: This study introduces and evaluates an automatic segmentation pipeline for head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC) using a multi-view CNN (MV-CNN). The results show that the MV-CNN produces reasonable segmentation results, especially on large tumors, but overestimation of the tumor volume reduces the overall performance. Further research is needed to decrease false positives and improve its value in treatment planning.

Head and neck tumor segmentation in PET/CT: The HECKTOR challenge

Valentin Oreiller et al.

Summary: This paper presents the post-analysis of the first edition of the HEad and neCK TumOR (HECKTOR) challenge, which focused on automatic segmentation of head and neck tumors in combined FDG-PET and CT images. A total of 64 teams participated in the challenge, and the best method achieved a high Dice Score Coefficient (DSC) and outperformed human inter-observer agreement and other methods.

Deep learning-based auto-delineation of gross tumour volumes and involved nodes in PET/CT images of head and neck cancer patients

Yngve Mardal Moe et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the use of CNN for automatic delineation of GTV in FDG-PET/CT images of head and neck cancer patients. New structure-based metrics were introduced for in-depth evaluation of multi-structure auto-delineation. Results showed that models based on PET/CT images were more effective in identifying true GTV structures compared to models based solely on CT images.

Comparing different CT, PET and MRI multi-modality image combinations for deep learning-based head and neck tumor segmentation

Jintao Ren et al.

Summary: This study compared different modality combinations to investigate deep learning-assisted gross tumor volume delineation in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. The results showed that all imaging combinations, including PET, provided similar delineation scores, and the inclusion of PET image was crucial for accurate delineation.

Recurrence Patterns After IMRT/VMAT in Head and Neck Cancer

Heleen Bollen et al.

Summary: IMRT and VMAT have become standard of care in treating head and neck cancer. By analyzing treatment failure patterns, this study indirectly investigated the quality of target volume delineation and treatment delivery, which were performed accurately with few recurrences outside high-dose regions and no marginal failures observed.
