Abstract

Accurate delineation of organs at risk (OAR) is a crucial step in radiation therapy (RT) treatment planning but is a manual and time-consuming process. Deep learning-based methods have shown promising results for medical image segmentation and can be used to accelerate this task. Nevertheless, it is rarely applied to complex structures found in the pelvis region, where manual segmentation can be difficult, costly and is not always feasible. The aim of this study was to train and validate a model, based on a modified U-Net architecture, for automated and improved multilabel segmentation of 10 pelvic OAR structures (total bone marrow, lower pelvis bone marrow, iliac bone marrow, lumosacral bone marrow, bowel cavity, bowel, small bowel, large bowel, rectum, and bladder).
