Improving Clinical Target Volume Segmentation Accuracy using Anatomical Priors and Active Learning for the AGITG TOPGEAR Clinical Trial
Training deep learning-based medical image segmentation models is challenging with limited curated datasets. For AGITG TOPGEAR, a gastric cancer trial, the Clinical Target Volume (CTV) is complex and defined by multiple anatomical landmarks, making upfront training data preparation difficult for an automated contour QA segmentation model. We investigate anatomical priors, derived from surrounding organ segmentations, to provide spatial context and improve TOPGEAR CTV segmentation accuracy. We also evaluate active learning, iteratively expanding the training dataset by selecting cases expected to improve performance. One hundred TOPGEAR CT scans were retrospectively analyzed. An initial se...
